Nonconsensual Human Experimentation[edit | edit source]
In the Abdullahi v. Pfizer, Inc lawsuit; Pfizer was found to have conducted unconsensual testing, with trovafloxacin, on 200 nigerian children. The lead investigator, Abdulhamid Isa Dutse, later provided a letter of approval for human trials that was found to be falsified.[3]
In 2007, the government of Nigeria sued Pfizer for $6.95 billion as a result of this case.[4]
