Companies told the FDA that it could take up to 18 months to completely exhaust the market supply of these products following their final date of sale. However, most of the affected manufacturers phased out the products faster than they initially predicted, the agency noted.

Or, instead of poisoning people for the next 18 months, we throw it all out now? No? Because companies are more concerned about profits than the health of people?

Heck, I don’t even care if the FDA used my tax dollars to compensate companies for throwing out their remaining stock; just stop poisoning people.
