" Court Grants Victims of Trovanfloxacin Vaccine Leave to Sue

Pfizer "

Africa News Service (www.africanews.org) (03/27/01)

In Nigeria, Justice Nwaogwugwu has decreed that the parents

of patients a 1996 trial of Pfizer's trovanfloxacin vaccine may

sue the drugmaker for giving the drug without their consent. Of

200 children with meningitis involved in the trial in Kano, 11

died and a number of others were disabled by the drug. The

plaintiffs had also asked the court to stop Pfizer from " further

administering, seeking to administer, or seeking approval for the

use of the drug in whatever form on the pediatric population in

Nigeria, without the consent of the parents. "
