I agree with you. Companies give to both the left and right. And the lawyers in the case of the Pinto opened a Pandora's box. For every case like the Pinto, there comes a Lonny H Porker (identity hidden to protect my a$$ from suit) to advertise on TV "stub your toe? We'll get you the money you deserve!", really meaning "we'll get you 40% of the take"
Not to say that these companies are angels, but 66 suicides (from the website I quoted) out of 30 million users is pretty slim. How many of the users of Accutane got hit by lightning in the same time? Broke their arms? Watched "Buffy"?
I feel really bad for the family of this kid, nothing is more painful than the loss of a child, especially when the chld kills him or herself. But a lawsuit should not be used as grief therapy.
