旁白/叙述者:本集讲述了达尔肯盾宫内节育器(Dalkon Shield)的悲剧故事,该产品因设计缺陷和企业的不负责任行为,导致数百万女性遭受严重健康损害甚至死亡。从早期避孕药的副作用问题到达尔肯盾的上市和召回,节目展现了医疗器械监管的不足以及企业对女性健康的漠视。A.H. Robbins公司为了追求利润,隐瞒产品缺陷,误导消费者,最终导致了巨大的法律纠纷和社会影响。Hugh Davis医生作为达尔肯盾的发明者,也因其在听证会上作伪证而受到谴责。本事件也促使FDA加强了医疗器械监管,提高了医疗器械的安全性。 E. Claiborne Robbins Sr.:A.H. Robbins公司否认达尔肯盾与其用户健康问题之间存在关联,并试图将责任推卸给用户自身,认为达尔肯盾的危害尚未得到证实,公司没有义务警告消费者潜在的风险。 Miles Lord法官:Miles Lord法官对A.H. Robbins公司的行为表示强烈谴责,认为其行为体现了企业不负责任的极致,将利润置于人道主义之上。 Roger Lewis Tuttle:Roger Tuttle的证词揭露了A.H. Robbins公司销毁证据的行为,为诉讼提供了关键证据。 Hugh Davis医生:Hugh Davis医生认为达尔肯盾的负面评价是竞争对手策划的阴谋,并坚信自己的设计没有错,直到去世。
