Police in Bonita Springs, Fla., charged Randall James Baker, 45, with aggravated battery, in August, 1998, for shooting his friend Robert Callahan in the head, sending him to the hospital.

The company, which recently lost its patent on the drug, said it has stopped handing out the toys — which it insisted were not toys at all but advertising reminders for doctors.
