GE Healthcare dropped a libel action against a scientist who was critical of the firm's drug containing gadolinium. In 2007, the scientist claimed that the use of Omniscan could lead to negative side effects, including serious damage to a patient's kidneys. 

As a result of filing the libel suit, GE Healthcare was criticized for trying to stifle free speech. The scientist apparently made the claim based on his own medical expertise.
