FDA Career Staff Objected to Agency Preemption Policies

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

Abstract

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform calls to question the operations of the FDA and whether they have acted in the best interests of public health during the Bush Administration. The FDA advocated in favor of preemption of individual state tort liability cases and rewrote regulations to restrict the ability of manufactures disclosure of new safety risks. The report finds that the FDA has not been acting in the best case of the public and instead has shielded manufacturers from liability with aid from the Bush Administration.
