That sounds like a pretty fine line to dance.
They would have to prove that the Pharmaceutical companies actively withheld information, which I would imagine would constitute Fraud, but then the counter-argument would be how did they hide it and shouldnt the Feds have caught it?
This sounds ugly.
We shall see.
