Killing yourself was your fault, not the company that sold you mislabled drugs.

So a company lied to the FDA about a product it wanted to sell in order to get it approved. The FDA trusted the company to tell the truth, the drug was approved and might have killed 40 people due to improper dosage labeling. The White House is arguing that since the FDA approved it, the company is not liable for any damages. What the hell just happened here?
