A federal judge upheld a ban on dietary supplements containing Ephedra also known as Ephedrine or Mahuang. The restriction targets products marketed for weight loss or performance enhancement and aims to curb health risks from ephedra based ingredients used to relieve congestion and treat asthma.
U S District Judge Joel Pisano refused a temporary restraining order and allowed a nationwide ban on dietary supplements containing ephedra to take effect. The FDA action targets products linked to numerous deaths and injuries, including the 2003 death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler, amid a lengthy legal challenge by NVE Pharmaceuticals and Thermalean maker National Institute for Clinical Weight Loss. The ruling preserves the ban at least until further court review.
The FAA requires automated external defibrillators on about 2,600 airliners. Aircraft with at least one flight attendant on board must carry the device to aid passengers who suffer heart attacks. Some planes already have them, and in 1998 a Boston man became the first domestic flight to have his life saved by a defibrillator.
Senior officials received an Aug. 7 2001 SEIB memo that excluded information about 70 FBI investigations and a May 2001 US explosive attack threat. Officials say memos target different audiences and gaps do not imply foul play, while some lawmakers worry about incomplete terror threat pictures.
