The FDA made an extraordinary and unprecedented move today when it announced that it was rescinding its 2008 approval of a medical device. The FDA said that the approval was made in error, after the product had already been rejected, based upon political pressure made by Congressman Frank Pallone and Steve Rothman as well as Senators Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez. All four knee jerks waged their campaign for the products approval by the FDA after receiving significant campaign contributions from the products manufacturer.
ReGen Biologics Inc.s orthopedic knee device shouldnt have been cleared for marketing in 2008, U.S. regulators said after a one-year investigation into complaints that political pressure led to the decision.
Hmmm, wonder what the party of the perps was?
Wanna bet?
And this happened BEFORE government run health care.
What offends me is not so much that Frank Pallone sold us out. Of course he sold us out. Pallone is a snake... We all knew that.
What offends me is that Frank Pallone sold us out so cheap. The amount of money he got out of this deal won’t cover a fifth of the cost of one botched procedure caused by his reckless actions.
It is sociopathic.
Hey, mega thanks for posting this!
SUPPORT ANNA LITTLE FOR CONGRESS!
