FDA Says Adderall Drug Data Isn't Enough for Recall (Update1)
U.S. drug safety reports linking an attention deficit drug to 20
deaths aren't enough for the Food and Drug Administration to follow
Canada in taking the product off the market, the agency's director of
medical policy said today.
Health Canada ordered the withdrawal yesterday of Adderall XR, made by
Shire Pharmaceuticals Group Plc, based on its review of adverse-event
reports previously given to the U.S. agency by the Basingstoke,
England-based company.
The drug is prescribed for children and adults with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder.

Only 20 deaths? Heck, ya gotta have a lot more than before Bush's
