FDA's Lead Attorney Helping Corporations Get Out of Lawsuits

From Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY):
Daniel Troy, Chief Counsel of the Food and Drug Administration, is taking the counsel's office in a wholly unprecedented direction, repeatedly interceding in civil suits on behalf of drug and medical device manufacturers that were accused of harming patients who had used their products. In doing so, Troy has worked in cooperation with the manufacturers, ignoring serious conflicts of interests. The FDA has attempted to mislead Congressman Hinchey in his efforts to look onto this matter.
