3:21 (Dow Jones) Advair Diskus asthma inhalers that were stolen from a GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) warehouse in Virginia last year have been found in some pharmacies, US FDA says Friday. Agency says safety and effectiveness of stolen products can't be assured, and they shouldn't be used. People who have Advair inhalers bearing certain lot numbers should stop using them and call GSK.
