RE: just got this email IMPORTANT DRUG RECALL
anytime I get these emails that seem to be "outrageous" or something gravely important, I always check them with a few key words on truthorfiction.com
they usually know the deal. Looks like the email that azz772 got was mostly true, but the part about the refund is incorrect. It also goes on to state that the govt. has not forced them to remove the product...the mfgr's have decided to remove it on their own. Anyway, here's the link, you can read about it and see which parts about the email are false.
Again, remember that site, truthorfiction.com It's helped me out a lot when I get emails about things that seem greatly alarming or some new finding that everyone must know about.
