Summary:

Influenced by the preliminary results of an internal clinical trial, Raymond Gilmartin, CEO of Merck, announced that the company was pulling its blockbuster arthritis drug Vioxx from the worldwide market on September 30, 2004. Merck & Company, Inc., once the worlds largest pharmaceutical company, saw its stock price plummet 27% after the recall announcement. Facing recent sales declines, a barrage of lawsuits, and two separate government investigations, Merck is losing its once-stellar reputation in the pharmaceutical industry.
