Pfizer Lawsuits and Settlements
Before 2018 courts have dismissed thousands of cases against Pfizer and this has made the company cocky and think they could get away with anything. In 2018, Pfizer started facing a rising number of lawsuits for some of their most popular drugs and decided to resolve fraudulent marketing and health care fraud lawsuits.[1]
​
Pfizer has been sued for a list of products including:
​
-
Protonix
-
Prempro
-
Chantix
-
Depo-Testosterone
-
Effexor
-
Zoloft
-
Eliquis
-
Lipitor
This is nowhere near a complete list of drugs though. There have also been many drug recalls throughout the years. As far back as 2005 Pfizer had to withdraw one of their drugs (Bextra) from the market.[2]

Murder in unapproved clinical trials
​
Fraud by itself is bad enough, but Pfizer actually killed at least 11 innocent children while conducting unapproved clinical trials in Nigeria as far back as 1996. Each of four families received compensation in the amount of $175,000 (13?) years after this heinous crime in an out-of-court settlement.
​
After Pfizer gave them the experimental anti-meningitis medication, Trovan, in 1996, 11 children died and dozens were left disabled. The children were part of a group of 200 given the drug during a meningitis outbreak as part of an unauthorized medical trial comparing the efficacy of Trovan with the existing medication.
A whistleblower lawsuit filed by Juan Walterspiel, a former associate medical director of Pfizer’s central research division, who had responsibility for international protocol development. Dr Walterspiel claimed that Pfizer fired him after he warned the company—before and after the study was conducted—that the study methods employed by Pfizer in the Nigerian trial were “improper and unsafe.” Dr Walterspiel’s action has since been settled.[3]
​
Judge Shehu Atiku in Kano ordered arrest warrants for the head of Pfizer in Nigeria, Ngozi Edozien, and the senior officials Lare Baale and Segun Donguro, after they failed to attend court. Government prosecutors in Nigeria say that Pfizer used critically ill children as “guinea pigs” to study Pfizer’s experimental drug trovafloxacin.[4]
