- drewvolpe 12y agoThe title got changed. OpenFDA just added data on devices going back to 1991.
- dang 12y agoWe'll put the title back in that case. But this is still arguably a repost. It would be better if the linked page were dedicated to the new data, or at least made clear what it is.
- drewvolpe 12y agoSorry about that. I thought it was better to link right to the data explorer for the new data, rather than the press release about.
