Bely makers knew about dangers
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa.-Procter & Gamble was aware of links between tampons and toxic shock syndrome more than a month before taking its Rely tampons off the market, but company officials, worried about slowing sales, decided not to act immediately, testimony revealed yesterday.
Michael Kehm, who is seeking more than $30 million from the company for negligence in the death of his wife, testified in federal court yesterday that his wife had never heard of toxic shock before she died of the disease Sept. 6, 1980.
Kehn's wife died 18 days before Rely was removed from store shelves. Reading from Procter & Gamble memos, Kehm said the company discussed toxic shock Aug. 6, 1980, but talked about a possible loss in company profits—not a concern for human safety.
"If a clear correlation between tammps and TSS is established, and if the mortality rate on TSS increases, the tampon business could be in real need."

The usually budget-conscious GAO, which monitors government activities for Congress, said the Pentagon had not moved fast enough with a coordinated laser program and probably had insufficient funds for such research and development.
"Laser" stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Lasers accumulate energy and concentrate it into an extremely powerful beam that, in the form of heat, can destroy a space target thousands of miles away.
