Tainted drug scare spreads across U.S. From Associated Press Reports An odd-looking aspirin capsule turned in by a sus picious consumer contained the rat poison warfarin, the Rocky Mountain Poison Control Center in Denver reported Mon day Elsewhere, officials in Bradenton, Fla., reported find ing 30 bottles of laxative with broken seals in 13 stores, and officials in Grand Junction, Colo., removed frozen fruit pies from shelves after a pill showed up on the plate of a 2-year-old who was eating a pie The poison center said the aspirin capsule with rat poison was found in a bottle turned in two weeks ago by a woman from Grand Junction, Colo., who thought the capsules looked "a little powdery" and that one capsule appeared misaligned Dr Kenneth Lampert, the Me sa County Health Department director, said the lot that con tained the poisoned capsule of Anacin Extra Strength aspirin was at least a year old The woman did not take any of the capsules, he said Dr. Barry Rumack, director of the poison center, said at least one other capsule in the 36-capsule bottle contained rat poison Investigators for the Food and Drug Administration, which did the tests and found the poison, were looking for other bottles in Grand Junction with lot No 1J14, but Rumack said he did not expect to find any Rumack said the FDA had not issued a warning against use of the product. It was Lampert's office that removed Johnston's Frozen Pies from all store shelves in Mesa County after a Grand Junction family reported finding a capsule in their toddler s pie Tests showed it was the tran quilizer Tranxene and that it would not have been fatal to the todaier had he eaten it, Larrrpert said Two weeks ago, a Grand Junction man suffered burns to his right eye when he used a bottle of Visine eye drops spiked with hydrochloric acid. A second acid-laced bottle was found on the same shelf and all eye products were taken off Mesa County shelves for four days A check of 1,270 bottles found no other contaminated ones "Now we've been hit twice in two weeks, and I’m afraid it’s going to continue,” Lampert said.
