Just imagine you are ill, and you are prescribed medication, you take your prescription to the pharmacist, the pharmacist fills your prescription with a Generic version of a brand name drug, most of us would think nothing of it, a normal task in the course of a normal day. 

You later find out after years and years of taking this Generic drug it has been recalled by the FDA because it causes Heart Arrhythmia, Sudden Heart related Death as some of its side effects.  Years earlier and current you've been having the same side affects the FDA has mentioned about this drug.  You told your physicians about these symptoms, they ran test but still could not determine what was causing these symptoms with your heart.  A light bulb went off inside of you after learning about the recall of the Generic medication you were taking because the symptoms you were having were identical to the Generic Drugs side effects.  You later learn that the Pharmaceuticals makers of this drug, (Brand name and Generic ) did not label the side effects on these Drugs and it was stated they knew about them.

You consult an Attorney and you find out that the Supreme Court ruled that only the Brand name drugs can be held accountable to the consumer for a defective Drug and not the (Generic Drug).

This happened to me, My heart was healthy no symptoms of any kind before I started taking a certain Generic Drug.  I took the Brand name for this medication as well, but through certain Health Insurances that I had, I sometimes had to take the Generic version of the Drug.
