Texas Supreme Court
Clarissa Crocker v. Winthrop…
October 2, 197418 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 4
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court's judgment for the plaintiff, holding that Winthrop Laboratories is liable for misrepresenting that its drug Talwin was non‑addictive, and that liability arises under Restatement §402B regardless of whether addiction was foreseeable in an appreciable class of users.
