A friend told me that her drugstore had put up signs all over the pharmacy
section that talked about this and they had removed all such products. But
there are, sadly, probably some stores who won't so "caveat emptor".
As for the FDA, don't even get me started. They are in bed with the big
pharmeceutical companies so rarely draw a straight and clear line. I pay
attention to when they issue recalls and such, but prefer to get my information
from other, more objective sources.

It is crucial for everyone to disseminate this. I took the news printout the
next day and read it to my class and assigned them to summarize it and react
to it (though only four at the time in my ESL grammar/communication.) I saw
a TV journalist investigating certain chains that had assured the authorities
they would pull them from their shelves, but the telejournalist discovered
the substances still on the shelves! I had thought the FDA had teeth.
