TRENTON, N.J. - The Today Sponge contraceptive, pulled from the market a decade ago, will soon be back in U.S. stores after receiving regulatory approval.



The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved U.S. sales of the sponge, which was a popular nonprescription birth control product among women when it was withdrawn from the market in 1995.


FDA spokeswoman Susan Cruzan confirmed the approval, saying "The product was found to be safe and effective."

In Canada, where the original Today Sponge was only on the market about 18 months, more than 400,000 sponges have been sold through retail outlets and Internet sites — without any advertising — since they were approved for sale there two years ago.
