This has led to a class-action lawsuit by those harmed by the use of fluoroquinolones, as well as action by the consumer advocate group, Public Citizen.

Partly as a result of the efforts of Public Citizen, the FDA ordered black box warnings on all fluoroquinolones, advising consumers of their possible toxic effects on tendons.

By August 1996, the FDA had not taken action, and the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen filed a petition with the FDA, prompting the agency to act.

In 2006, Public Citizen, supported by the Illinois Attorney General, renewed its demand of ten years prior for black box warnings by filing a third petition requesting such changes be made.

When the FDA failed to respond to these two petitions as required by law, Public Citizen, in January 2008, filed suit to compel the FDA to respond to their 2006 petition.

Aided by the Public Citizen Litigation Group, the historian Stanley Kutler, who has written several books about Nixon and Watergate, sued for release of the transcripts of the testimony.
