FDA Defends Approval of Poison

After weeks of criticism and charges that the federal agency is “broken”, the Food and Drug Administration came under attack again today for acknowledging its approval of Poison as a pharmaceutical.

“In our studies, takers of poison suffered many side-effects, ending in either permanent neurological disorder, coma, or death,” an FDA staffer reported. “These kinds of consistencies are promising. We stand by our approval of poison and feel its manufacturers have produced a product that does exactly what it claims.”

Consumer groups, including the American Medical Association have called the approval “outrageous and irresponsible” and are petitioning Congress to reverse the poison approval. -More-
