WASHINGTON (Reuters) Mar 25 - Abbott Laboratories Inc. said Thursday it

was halting sales of a 30-year-old attention deficit drug that a

consumer group complained was too dangerous to stay on the market.

Abbott decided to discontinue the drug, Cylert, because of declining

sales, Abbott spokeswoman Brotz said. The drug's sales this year

will be less than $1 million, she said.
