14 Arrested in Meningitis Deaths Linked to New England Compounding Center - NYTimes.com

Read the full article: 14 Arrested in Meningitis Deaths Linked to New England Compounding Center - NYTimes.com:

"The arrests signal the beginning of criminal proceedings against the New England Compounding Center, whose contaminated drugs led to the deaths from fungal meningitis of 64 people in the fall of 2012. More than 680 people were sickened.

The contamination caused an uproar and prompted new legislation about compounding pharmacies, which make specialized formulations of drugs for patients with particular needs. Over the years, such companies have grown into mass manufacturers distributing medicine all over the country, virtually unregulated by the federal government."
