My firm makes Mirapex. We were warned of this side effect. We kept our protective gear on for this one.

Your firm was warned that some schmo could lose $14 million gambling?

The glaring hole in plaintiff's complaint can be seen here:

"His lawsuit, filed Friday, says the drug company didn't warn patients that Requip could cause compulsive behavior."

He's not an ordinary patient; he's a PHYSICIAN! The question isn't whether or not the pharmaceutical mfg. warned patients, it's whether or not the information was available to PHYSICIANS! Any doctor, retired or otherwise, who takes a medication (regardless of who prescribed it) without looking up the relevant details about the side effects before taking it is an idiot.
