In March of 2009, the US Supreme Court ruled that Wyeth could be sued by Vermont musician Diana Levine for injuries she sustained after being treated by the company's anti-nausea drug, Phenergan. Wyeth maintained that they should be immune against such litigation because the FDA had already approved the warning label placed on the drug, but the court's 6-3 majority opinion held that the onus was still on Wyeth to update and expand the warning label when new dangers or side-effects are discovered.CNN Money: US High Court Allows Patient Lawsuit Against Wyeth (March 4, 2009)
