Bill overview
This resolution recognizes the significant harm caused by the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES), which was widely prescribed to pregnant women in the United States from the 1940s to 1971. The resolution acknowledges that exposure to DES during fetal development led to rare cancers and other health problems in children, often referred to as ‘DES Daughters.’ It calls for increased awareness of this history and urges the FDA to issue a formal apology to the families affected. Furthermore, the resolution supports continued funding for a study tracking the long-term health impacts of DES exposure.
