An FDA report finds that a pharmaceutical company is knowingly using contaminated raw materials to make children's and infants' medicines in a factory that is failing to maintain its equipment, properly train its employees and correctly measure and weigh drug ingredients, and FDA officials consider the problem to be "theoretical"?

'Can you imagine what would happen if an herbal product manufacturer were found to engage in the same behavior? The FDA would pounce on them, seize their products, issue a public warning and probably fine the company for its reckless behavior. But when Big Pharma pulls the same stunt, it's just business as usual.'
'The FDA report specifies that McNeil's had not been properly formulating the drug dosages in its children's and infants' medicines, which is part of the reason for the recall. Improper concentrations of active ingredients in these products potentially puts millions of children at risk. But apparently this is no big deal to the FDA which sees it as nothing more than a "hypothetical" problem.'

#1 - Thu May 6, 2010 12:14 PM EDTCan someone remind me, again, why the Baggers hate "Big Government" agencies like the FDA?
They wouldn't want Corporations to poison their children, would they?
Or, is their faith in Market Fundamentalism enough to ward off any possibility of corporate malfeasance?

I'm beyond being shocked any longer. This is exactly what I have come to expect of Big Pharma... not to mention the FDA. No trust no trust no trust... reminds me of Toyota, the arrogance, the total lack of a conscience as customers died in those pieces of crap... and our wonderful, beneficent, protective, all-knowing, all-seeing government looked the other way...
Crap... I apologize fr the rant, but not for the seething anger that precipitated it...

Yawn, big pharma corps have no spark under their hood any longer. Time to give them the old leather shoe up the arse and fire the shotgun in the frontal lobe. While we are at we should stop buying over the counter drugs and look at how our ancestors took care of minor aches.
