As a data point, one of the problems with generics is the falsely made ones.

There have been (unfortunately) large pharma companies over the years who manufacture generics, which are later found out to be not even close to manufacturing the real thing, or whose manufacturing processes are extremely unsafe.

Ranbaxy and GVK Biosciences are examples that spring to mind from not too long ago. There may have been others since. :(
