The Hill ‘s (8/4, Lillis) “Healthwatch” blog reports, “citing a recent spike in pharmaceutical recalls, Sen. Michael Bennet on Tuesday introduced legislation to bolster consumer protections governing the nation’s drug supply.” The “Colorado Democrat says his proposal,” which would “greatly expand the FDA enforcement powers while holding drug companies more accountable for the products they sell,” is “vital in a globalized age when more and more drug ingredients originate overseas.”
I applaud this introduction of this important legislation. The lack of oversight has allowed drug and other product manufacturers to push products into the market for profit without proper safety considerations. Let’s hope Congress will do the right thing and make this bill law.
