Federal drug regulators have accused a California company of breaking the

law by making exaggerated claims about the purity and effectiveness of a new

vaccine for anthrax, a fresh blow for a troubled $1 billion program at the

center of the government's plans to counter bioterrorism.

 

In a letter made public yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration accused

VaxGen Inc. of making " false or misleading statements " about the vaccine,

essentially by offering rosy interpretations of the handful of scientific

studies that have been completed on the product.
