Consumer advocate Dr. Sydney Wolfe, while agreeing with the FDA's decision to order pharmaceutical manufacturer Pfizer to remove their product Bextra from the market, worries that the FDA has left the job half done. "The FDA is ultimately doing more harm than good," according to Dr. Wolfe, because Celebrex (also manufactured by Pfizer) has been allowed to remain on the market, despite some experts say are significant risks of damage to the heart.

The FDA has asked Pfizer to add a "black box" warning to Celebrex, warning doctors and consumers of possible complications associated with the drug. Dr. David Graham, a scientist working for the FDA, has said that the FDA should have banned Celebrex in high dosages.
