'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
A Massachusetts company with the same founders as a pharmacy tied to a deadly meningitis outbreak said Thursday it is laying off nearly all its employees amid a prolonged closure for inspection.
In a story on Oct. 10, The Associated Press reported that Ameridose LLC had settled a defamation and slander suit against one of its customers, Novation, that had alleged the pharmacy had quality control problems. At the time, company officials told the AP the settlement was confidential, but the news cooperative has since learned that as part of the settlement the two companies agreed to continue working together.
Long before the current rash of fungal meningitis, the compounding pharmacy suspected in the outbreak settled a lawsuit alleging it produced a tainted shot that caused a man's death in 2004.
