“Consumers are getting the worst of both worlds,” says David C.

What is going on with this? How is it someone can sue when coffee from McDonald's is too hot, yet if you take Vioxx and have a heart attack and die, no one can receive monetary damages? Is this what our federal agencies are coming too?
This is a huge disgrace and our government should be ashamed of itself.
