Pharmaceutical liability class actions are a specific subset of Product Liability class actions. Pharmaceutical manufacturers may be liable if they do not use reasonable care in the design and manufacturing of their products. Pharmaceutical class actions may also involve claims of failure to warn of the potential adverse effects associated with using a particular drug or medical device. Pharmaceutical class actions seek to recover damages for the harm suffered by individuals from using certain drugs and medical devices.

Siskinds LLP was the first firm in Canada to certify and settle a pharmaceutical class action and is a leader in Canada in this field.
