J. Michael Pearson, the CEO of Valeant Pharmaceuticals said in an interview that “his company’s responsibility is to its shareholders, not the customers who rely on his drugs to live.” This is how misplaced the values of big pharma have become.

Last July, Turing Pharmaceuticals' CEO Martin Shkreli became a lightning rod for growing outrage over soaring prescription drug prices after he raised the price of a newly-acquired drug from $13.50 to $750. But Shkreli, who

FDA bans 28 ingredients from use in hand sanitizers. The most common ingredient, ethyl alcohol, was deferred for further studies to determine if it's safe and effective.

After reviewing the safety and effectiveness of hand sanitizers, the US Food and Drug Administration has ruled that dozens of active ingredients can't be used in the antiseptic rubs, but the agency still wants answers about the most common active ingredient.

The Trump administration has drafted a rule that would require drug makers to disclose their prices in television ads, but the industry fears sticker shock and is fighting back.

Pollution cases prosecuted by the EPA are the lowest number since 1988, when Ronald Reagan was president. During his campaign, Donald Trump called for doing away with the EPA, leaving only "little tidbits."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency hit a 30-year low in 2018 in the number of pollution cases it referred for criminal prosecution, Justice Department data show. EPA said in a statement that it is directing "its resources to the most significant and impactful cases." But the 166...

We all love single stream recycling for its convenience, but have we ruined a good thing? New research shows the risk of contaminated recycling may be offsetting the gains in greater participation.

For those of us who spent most of our lives painstakingly separating plastic, glass, paper and metal, single-stream recycling is easy to love. No longer must we…

America's largest cell phone carriers are selling real-time location data with little oversight to several private industries, including bounty hunters. This exposes ordinary citizens to surveillance by anyone.

T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T are selling access to their customers’ location data, and that data is ending up in the hands of bounty hunters and others not authorized to possess it, letting them track most phones in the country.

A Congressional Oversight Committee concluded that last year's Equifax breach was "entirely preventable," if only Equifax followed standard security measures. To date, there have been no penalties or prosecutions for the executives at Equifax for letting the sensitive financial information of 143 million consumers become stolen.

A House Oversight Committee report out Monday has concluded that Equifax’s security practices and policies were sub-par and its systems were old and out-of-date, and bothering with basic security measures — like patching vulnerable systems — could’ve prevented its massive data breach la…

This is a revealing piece about how drug companies are able to pay physicians who publish in prestigious medical journals without disclosing their conflicts of interest to the physicians and researchers who rely on them.
