Battling Goliath - [Second Chance]

Battling Goliath: Inside a $22 Billion Legal Scandal is the true story of one man s quest to hold a corporate giant accountable for putting six million lives at risk. Wyeth, the makers of fen-phen, circumvented FDA regulations to push their drug cocktail on overweight consumers. They then engaged in a cover-up of dangerous side effects fearing an FDA backlash. Fen-phen was pulled from pharmacy shelves but only after mounting deaths and illnesses.

Attorney Kip Petroff led the charge in courtrooms across the country. His strategy resulted in the first verdict, which ultimately led to a nationwide settlement. But the shadowy back-room pacts, threats, allegations, and deceit that followed would test his early commitment to bring justice to the drugs victims.

Relying on his principles and leaning heavily on his faith, Petroff persevered for himself and his clients. His story is proof that each of us has the power to stand up to Goliath, whoever and whatever it may be.
