Tobacco executives face inquiry over alleged FDA setup
Justice Department reviews claims that tobacco chiefs lied to regulators and Congress about cigarette safety and nicotine. Brown & Williamson disputes FDA findings that it developed high nicotine tobacco and tested it in light cigarettes. Chairman Thomas Sandefur says FDA knew of Y-1 plant early and accuses Kessler of dramatizing the probe. Lawmakers accuse several tobacco leaders of lying under oath about addictiveness and label manipulation.
