There has also been controversy about the role of pharmaceutical companies in marketing and promoting antipsychotics, including allegations of downplaying or covering up adverse effects, expanding the number of conditions or illegally promoting off-label usage; influencing drug trials (or their publication) to try to show that the expensive and profitable newer atypicals were superior to the older cheaper typicals that were out of patent. Following charges of illegal marketing, settlements by two large pharmaceutical companies in the US set records for the largest criminal fines ever imposed on corporations.

However, according to Alleen Pace Nilsen, a "reputable source in the publishing world" allegedly said that the book was published anonymously because the parents had initiated legal action and threatened to sue if the published book could be traced back to their daughter. Not long after Go Ask Alices publication, Beatrice Sparks began making public appearances presenting herself as the book's editor. (Ellen Roberts, who in the early 1970s was an editor at Prentice Hall, was also credited at that time with having edited the book; a later source refers to Roberts as having "consulted" on the book.) According to Caitlin White, when Sparks' name became public, some researchers discovered that copyright records listed Sparks as the sole author—not editor—of the book, raising questions about whether she had written it herself. Suspicions were heightened in 1979 after two newly published books about troubled teenagers (Voices and Jay's Journal) advertised Sparks' involvement by calling her "the author who brought you Go Ask Alice".

In March 2009, Jacfun initiated legal action in the New South Wales Supreme Court against the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority for "deceptive conduct" and claiming a share of the redevelopment's profits. A clause in the 2003 sale of Jacfun's lease back to the SHFA stated that if the Darling Walk site was resold within five years for more than A$40 million, a share of the profit would be forwarded to Jacfun; the rezoning of the site (which made the subsequent resale feasible) occurred just after the five-year period expired, and Jacfun was alleging that this had been planned prior to their lease ending. On 25 July 2012, the New South Wales Court of Appeal ordered the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority to pay $1.2 million for the loss of its Jacfun's opportunity to negotiate a higher price for the surrender of the lease. In April 2018 it was discovered that a Sonic and Sally statue, a smaller version of the iconic statue that stood outside of the building, had turned up at a junkyard in Londonderry in Sydney's north west.

In his 2005 book Beyond the Hippocratic Oath: A Memoir on the Rise of Modern Medical Ethics, Dossetor describes his oversight of skin graft experiments in Igloolik for the International Biological Program in the early 1970s. Dossetor describes his reaction to reading an account of the experiment from one of the test subjects years later, and his disturbed realization with hindsight that the consent process for this research, which had depended on "group consent from community elders" granted via a non-Inuk translator, had been "inadequate in that subjects...did not understand what was going on". He ultimately concludes in the book that his team did not do enough to secure meaningful consent, and expresses his concern that a careful, fully informed consent process is "still not considered crucially important even in research today". In 2019, several Inuit from Igloolik spoke out about the skin grafts and other medical experiments conducted on them without consent in the 1960s and 1970s and initiated legal action against the Government of Canada.

In 2017, a group of Kenyans petitioned Kenya's National Land Commission with a claim that they were forcefully evicted from the present day Kakuzi land by colonialists who burnt their houses, confiscated their animals and left them destitute More local community groups have since joined the petition in laying claim to the NSE-listed agricultural firm’s land. In February 2019, avocado farmers in Murang'a county, where Kakuzi has a farm and operations threatened to take court action against Kakuzi over avocados supply deal, accusing the company of breaching their contract and not paying them in full. In October 2020, the law firm Leigh Day said it had initiated legal action against UK firm Camellia, the parent owner of Kakuzi, on behalf of 79 Kenyans who accuse Kakuzi's security guards of perpetrating horrific abuses since 2009 including killings, rape, attacks and false imprisonment. Following these allegations, UK's supermarket chain Tesco announced that it had suspended avocado supply from Kakuzi Kenya due to the abuse claims. Two more large European supermarket chains, Sainsbury’s and Lidl, later confirmed that they had suspended supplies by Kakuzi.
