Wright v. A.H. Robins Co.

Wright v. A.H. Robins Co. was a lawsuit where a woman, Wright, sued the pharmaceutical company A.H. Robins, claiming their birth control pill, Ortho-Novum, caused her to develop blood clots, leading to health problems. The case centered on whether the company knew about the risks but failed to warn users. The court found that the company had a duty to inform consumers of known dangers and could be held liable for injuries caused by their product if they failed to do so. This case helped reinforce the importance of manufacturer warnings and informed consent in consumer safety.
