Metabolife?
From http://egray.org/items.php?issue=metabolife:
Metabolife, a maker of herbal diet pills containing ephedrine, contributed $150,000 to Davis in 2000. In September 2000, Davis vetoed legislation that would have required a more direct warning on the products, contending that such warnings are the responsibility of Congress. On August 15, 2002, the United States Justice Department announced that it had launched a criminal investigation against Metabolife. Davis made no effort to encourage federal action until after the federal investigation against the company was announced, when Davis had his health director send a letter to the US Food and Drug Administration urging that it take "swift action on this important public health issue."
