After some Google help, I think you are talking about thalidomide, made by the company Neurosedyn, right? The FDA in the US never approved its use because an official thought it had not been tested thoroughly or well enough. And I thought I read (but can't find a link ATM - crappy connection is too slow) that there is evidence that some in the German company that made thalidomide realized it could cause birth defects but kept that information hidden. If I remember, I'll try to look later (but I might have read it in a book and not online).
