Interesting PSA

Have any of you heard of the drug 'bendectin'? It was used in the late 70's for morning sickness for pregnant women. Some studies show that it later caused infertility in the female children. The drug was pulled from the market in the early 80's. My limited research came up with some links with unexplained infertility and some endometriosis. I called my mom and she said she used 'some' of the pills in the late term with me for nausea. I just thought this was interesting and curious to find out if any of you have heard this?
