Johnson & Johnson makes a lot of money off of Children's Motrin. Unfortunately, Children's Motrin has the unfortunate side effect of blinding some kids who take it. Children's Motrin is sold over the counter, which means that there's no medical professional involved in someone's decision to buy Children's Motrin or give it to their children. Consumers do not have the specialized medical expertise that a doctor or a nurse has.

Now, Johnson & Johnson knew all of the facts in the first paragraph, but the only one that really mattered to the company was the first sentence.

Therefore, let's blame the family, and let the poor pharmaceutical company off the hook.

Do I understand the "tort reform" position correctly?
