[Excerpt] We the undersigned write to express our deep appreciation for the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) continued efforts to ban the use of electrical stimulation devices (ESDs) used to treat self-injurious or aggressive behavior, and to urge the FDA to take all necessary steps to release the final rule banning these devices as soon as possible. For nearly eight years since the FDA initially released its Proposed Rule to ban these devices, and for almost ten years since a panel of experts recommended that they be banned, people with disabilities have continued to suffer from painful and dangerous electric shocks.
