Bextra and Celebrex

I may be way behind the times here, but I saw online tonight that Bextra has been pulled by the FDA. Did this happen a long time ago & I just now noticed??
I guess it's used to treat osteoartiritis or rheumatoid arthiritis. I know that these can sometimes be associated w/ CF, and figured anyone taking these meds heard about the recall(?) already, but just thought I'd let you know.
The article also mentioned Celebrex too, which I had already heard about (it being pulled as well).

All that happened 2 or 3 months ago. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Thanks for wanting to keep us posted though.

I know they pulled Bextra off the market, but to my knowledge (since I take it and can still get it) Celebrex is still on the market.
