Chantix, an anti-smoking prescription drug, is still being prescribed despite claims of suicidal behavior and sudden rage, resulting in some killings. Pfizer owns this drug and continues to make money off of this potentially dangerous substance. Several lawsuits have been filed, yet only warnings have been put out as opposed to recalls. Below is a link to an example of a warning put out by CNN:

I really think this is a prime example of how socially irresponsible pharmaceutical companies can be. If there was even a hit of danger associated with a prescription drug, it should be recalled and fixed or banded from use until studies can confirm these claims aren't true.
