Whistleblower Suit Against Schering-Plough
This blog is starting to look like a pharma-business-ethics blog. I’m not doing this on purpose.
See the AP story at Yahoo.com: NJ Court Allows Whistleblower Suit Against Schering-Plough
Four former employees of drug maker Schering-Plough Corp.’s Argentinean subsidiary can sue over being fired allegedly for complaining about illegal marketing practices, including bribing doctors to boost drug sales, a New Jersey court ruled Friday.
…
The four longtime employees at Laboratorios Essex SA allege they were abruptly terminated after disclosing “widespread unethical and illegal marketing and sales practices.” They claim Schering-Plough engaged in “the pervasive and routine bribing of doctors and public officials” to boost sales of the company’s cancer and infection-fighting drugs in Argentina.
