A 1991 FDA task force charged that Pfizer-Shiley withheld information about safety problems from regulators in order to get initial approval for its valves.
In November 7, 1991, The Wall Street Journal asserted that Shiley had deliberately falsified manufacturing records relating to valve fractures, which resulted in catastrophic consequences.
By 2012 it was reported that 663 individuals had died as a result of the defective valves.

Pfizer ultimately agreed to pay between $165 million and $215 million to settle lawsuits related to the The Björk-Shiley Convexo-Concave Heart Valve.
It also agreed to pay $10.75 million to settle US Justice Department charges that it lied to regulators in seeking approval for the valves.

☝️This unapproved clinical trial by PFIZER on 200 Nigerian children resulted in the death of 11 children!!
It is alleged that many more children later suffered “serious side-effects ranging from organ failure to brain damage.”

In 2002…
Pfizer agreed to pay $49 million to settle charges that one of its subsidiaries defrauded the federal Medicaid program by overcharging for its cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor.
In 2003…
Pfizer paid $6 million to settle with 19 states that accused it of using misleading ads to promote the antibiotic Zithromax (Z-Pak), used for children’s ear infections.
The claim alleged that Pfizer “overstated the benefits and efficiency of Zithromax when compared to other comparable antibiotics.”
