In today's world the mother had a choice; both in getting pregnant and delivering her child.

Sgt Spencer Sikder It is clearly stated in the information pamphlet for birth control pills that the effectiveness is NOT absolute. Even while taking birth control pills there is still the possibility of a pregnancy. Period !!

That said mislabeling any type of medication is a serious offense and the error must certainly be investigated and corrected. But the burden of proof is on the parties who claim that this was indeed the reason for their pregnancy. I believe that it will be extremely hard to prove.

There has been a single package that is faulty, and until that is resolved, not much can be done. Compensation is in order, but watch for all the lawsuits that may destroy this company and jobs that are not valid.

No the company should not be held accountable for this. I know some people may feel overwhelmed by having a baby but Who's to say that the birth control would have stopped it anyway. Not to be religious about this but if God wants you to have a baby there is no stopping it.
