Elizabeth Conte took generic Reglan for four years and developed debilitating, permanent, tardive dyskinesia. Because generic manufacturers do not produce literature about their product, her doctor had relied in literature produced by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals which makes the name brand Reglan. This includes the descriptions of side effects that Wyeth supplied for the Physician's Desk Reference and the package insert that comes with both name brand and generic versions of the medication.

In a complicated trial and series of appeals, the ruling appears to be that Wyeth was negligent for underrepresenting the dangers of the medication.
