The head of the company was nailed with insider trading charges and bankruptcy was filed.
I only found out about it by chance a few years later. At the time when I kept complaining about the problems I was having, I was made to believe I was imagining it...at least that is how I felt. Funny thing is that they KNEW about it because it was recalled, but no one informed me. I found out years later. So...no...not shocked at all. |
Wow girl, that gave me goose bumps just reading that!.....That had to be so frightening, and to think it didn't have to happen...I really hope your doing better in spite of this terrible, terrible injustice done to you and the many others.....Sad to say these sort of things are common place now......It just infuriates me at times.......
This is the very thing I was finding in my reading.....It appears the FDA was doing what it was supposed to do, looking out for the public's best interest, but sometime in the early nineties some changes occurred within the FDA and it has never been the same. Now when I hear a drug is FDA approved that claim no longer gives me a sense of security anymore......
Well, if we all wash our hands and get plenty of vitamin D we just might not need to resort to medications......
