FDA urges cease fire in aspirin ads dispute
FDA Commissioner Kennedy asks Sterling Drug, maker of Bayer aspirin, to stop a one sided campaign against Tylenol amid claims that acetaminophen products are not safer than aspirin. He faults Tylenol for out of context panel statements and warns FTC action may follow over misleading ads in the OTC pain reliever market. Also notes a birth in Missouri and workplace details of a local father, but focuses on the drug ad clash and regulatory concerns.
