Off Label Drug Use Concerns
Summary
Off-label drug use is legal with informed consent. Conducting studies without double-blind trials may face ethical scrutiny. Accepting advisory roles and funding from pharmaceutical companies can lead to conflicts of interest. The perfect tender rule allows rejection of nonconforming goods. Under the UCC, sellers can cure nonconforming deliveries within the contract time. Using nonconforming goods may waive rejection rights. Proper tender of delivery requires reasonable opportunity for acceptance. Non-merchants deliver at their residence. Sellers can cure defects within a reasonable time. Unforeseen events excusing performance include natural disasters. Buyers must cooperate in delivery. Acceptance implies retention without objection. Anticipatory repudiation allows breach treatment and damage mitigation.Full Conversation

Suppose that Dr. Reilly owns a medical clinic and enters into a contract to buy * tablets of Gensol from Pharzime. The Gensol that he orders are * milligrams each. The Gensol that is delivered are * milligrams each. The clinic uses the tablets for six months (giving patients double the number of pills). The clinic then decides to reject the unused portion of the pills. Which of the following is true?
The clinic likely can reject the goods since they are nonconforming.
The clinic can only reject the goods if they can show that they did not inspect the goods at the time of delivery.
The clinic likely will not be able to reject the goods since they used the pills.
The clinic can only reject the goods if they can show that they inspected the goods at the time of delivery.
The clinic likely will not be able to reject the goods since they used the pills. By using the pills for six months, the clinic has effectively accepted the nonconforming goods. Acceptance of part or all of the goods typically waives the right to reject those goods later.
