SmithKline Beckman Corp. today withdrew Contac, Dietac and Teldrin from the market because trace amounts of a rat poison had been found in five tampered capsules.

The decision followed by one day the release of findings that there had been threats made against the over-the-counter drugs, that some of them had been tampered with and that flour and cornstarch had been found in them in two cities. No injuries were reported.
