Warner-Lambert Ordered to Stop Making Some Drugs: A federal court ordered the company to stop manufacturing most new drug products until its plants meet government standards. An exception was made for a handful of drugs, considered medically necessary, which Warner-Lambert will continue to produce and ship. Inspectors from the Food and Drug Administration found that the company withheld test data and failed to ensure the quality of its products. The Morris Plains, N.J.-based drug giant, which consented to the court decree, estimated that the move will cause its sales to drop $150 million this year.
