FDA bans imports of generic drugs

I only heard the basics on the news yesterday evening. When they displayed the most common drugs, with still more unlisted, I had a strong feeling there would be at least one antiepileptic drug on the list that wasn't displayed. Then I caught something online just a few minutes ago.

Quote :
"Also on the list is...the epilepsy drug gabapentin, or Neurontin."
And here's a link to a site for it. www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2008/09/fda_bans_generics_made_by_ranb.html

Is this something new, or an extension of the gabapentin recall from last December?
