Defective Electronic Components Can Be the Basis of Large Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits by Defense Contractor Fraud Whistleblower Reward Lawyer Jason Coomer

Defective electronic components can cause catastrophic failures in military aircraft, weapons, and security systems resulting in death or catastrophic injury to our troops as well as critical failures in our nation's security.  For this reason the United States Government is offering large financial rewards to military professionals who property expose the sale of defective and counterfeit electronic components to the United States military.  These cases include false certification of defective electronic components as well as electronic component fraud.  For more information on these potential rewards, please go to the following web page: Defective Component Fraud Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits.

In 2011, the United States Senate Armed Services Committee announced that it had uncovered 1,800 cases in which the Pentagon had been sold defective electronics many of which  may be counterfeit.  In total, the committee said it had found more than a million defective electronic parts had made their way into military aircraft.  Many of these defective electronic components had come from defective supply chains and fraudulent sub contractors.  These defective electronic components can create catastrophic problems when used in military aircraft, weapons, missile defense systems, surveillance systems, and other security systems.

Military contractor procurement fraud and Defense Contractor false certification fraud in the electronic component supply chain have increased as some government contractors and subcontractors are using cheaper electronic parts from China, India, Mexico, and other countries to fulfill government contracts.  As a result these military  contractors use defective military electronic components, defective military electronic parts, and defective military equipment parts in war planes, missile systems, and other military equipment.  Whistleblowers that have independent knowledge of military electronic component supply chain procurement fraud committed against the government by government contractors and subcontractors can blow the whistle on the military procurement fraud and if they are the first to provide notice of the fraud can recover a large financial reward for helping the government identify and stop procurement fraud.

Pharmaceutical World Sales Increase to Over $880 Billion Per Year Including Large Sales Increases in the "Pharmering Countries"

Every year over $4.1 trillion (US dollars) is spent worldwide on health services including approximately $850 billion (US dollars) that is spent in the pharmaceutical market on drugs and medications.  In 2011, it is estimated that global pharmaceutical sales are expected to grow by 5% to 7% to around $880 billion.  This growth in sales is led by the 17 so-called "pharmerging countries," which include China, Brazil, Russia, India, Venezuela, Poland and the Ukraine.  These "pharmerging countries", are forecast to see their pharmaceutical spending grow at a 15% to 17% rate in 2011, to between $170 billion and $180 billion overall.

Eight pharmerging countries are amongst the top 20 world pharmaceutical markets, and China is one of the “top three” or will be in the near future.  A few high-profile pharmaceutical companies have been successful in gaining a foothold in these pharmering countries.  These footholds include Abbott’s acquisition of Piramal Healthcare in India — a deal that could potentially make the US giant the top player in this country.  Bayer's and Novartis' investments in China including Novartis'  commitment to invest $1 billion USD in R&D in China and its $125 million USD investment to buy 85 percent stake in a privately held vaccine company.  Pfizer has made inroads into the Russian health care system with a discount-card system in Russia  Sanofi Aventis has purchased Medley, Brazil’s third-largest pharmaceutical company.  GSK and Lilly have also announced anticipated doubling their revenue in emerging markets by 2015.

It is estimated that approximately 10 to 25% of public health care procurement spending including drug contracts, medicines, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and medical devices is lost to corrupt and fraudulent acts including adulterated drugs.  As such, there is an international movement to reward pharmaceutical professionals and health care professionals that expose fraudulent and corrupt practices that cost hundreds of billions of dollars and cost lives.  This international movement includes SEC Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits and traditional Qui Tam False Claims Act Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits. 

As such, raw material supplies for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical equipment that have traditionally come from the United States and Europe are now coming from China and India.  This manufacturing shift has created an environment where adulterated ingredients to pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical devices may be used in the manufacturing of these important products and can create dangerous and defective drugs, medical supplies, and medical devices.  International Whistleblowers along the pharmaceutical supply chain are needed to blow the whistle on adulterated pharmaceutical ingredients that are being put into medicine, drugs, medical supplies, and medical devices.
