On October 22, 2010, Dr. Rick Kingston, president of regulatory and scientific affairs, will be speaking at the SupplySide West trade show regarding: Medical Claims Involving Adverse Events: Managing and Assessing Incidents, and Preventing Escalation to Litigation.

Every supplement manufacturer receives allegations of expected or unexpected side effects or adverse events potentially caused by the use of their products.  Some of these incidents may compel a consumer to seek compensation for medical reimbursement and possibly monetary awards for pain and suffering.  Aside from meeting mandatory regulatory reporting requirements, how does the manufacturer evaluate these incidents and any allegations of injury to determine options aimed at successful resolution with the consumer and ultimately manage and prevent product liability related litigation?  This session is designed to provide a roadmap for the supplement manufacturer in dealing with these issues, addressing consumer and regulator concerns and expectations, and prevent unnecessary damage to the company and the brand.
