Article Abstract:

The US Food and Drug Administration is attempting to reassure epilepsy patients that Dilantin is safe for use even though the drug's manufacturer, Warner Lambert, claimed guilt for concealing quality problems. The drug was recalled during 1995 for a total of eight times and the administration investigated the drug during 1992 but did not reveal this information until 1995.
