Unfair.

The other day I was at a friend’s house and he told me about how they had used a certain radiant floor heating and it caused damage to the house and the whole renovation that they did had to be ripped up and redone.

Fortunate for him he was able to join a class action lawsuit and get money for damages.

I think many times things happen that are unfortunate and people ignore or don’t hold companies responsible for their actions and incompetence. I read up on the Accutane Lawsuit and there are so many individuals who have been directly influenced by this medication.

In fact, when I was in high school I had a dear friend who was on this medication and within just a few months (over the summer) I got a call that he was in the hospital with liver cancer.

He was 16 and died.

It was life changing and I’ll never forget seeing him in the hospital hooked up to tubes and dark orange in color.

I certainly hope that others have learned from this situation and that the pharmaceutical companies have been held responsible.
