Contaminated Drug Death Lawyer: Poor Drug Manufacturing Standards and Compounding Standards Have Caused Numerous Contaminated Drug Deaths By Contaminated Drug Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer
The fierce competition to maximize profits in the drug industry has led to an increasing number of drug manufacturers and pharmacies to use defective manufacturing practices, defective drug ingredients, and defective compounding practices that create dangerous contaminated drugs and adulterated drugs. These contaminated drugs and adulterated drugs can cause significant injuries and even death to persons taking the dangerous drugs.
Contaminated Drugs Can Be Caused By Contaminated Raw Materials From Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredient (API) Manufacturers, Pharmaceutical
Intermediate Manufacturers, and Pharmaceutical
Excipient Manufacturers
Pharmaceutical
suppliers of raw materials to the pharmaceutical
industry include suppliers of active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs),
intermediates, and excipients. It
is the United States Food and Drug Administration's
expectation that current good manufacturing
practices (CGMP) be used for the manufacturing,
processing, packing, or holding (i.e., storage) of
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs),
intermediates, and excipients. Further, the
FDA recommends that laboratory controls should
include the establishment of scientifically sound
and appropriate specifications, standards, sampling
plans, and test procedures to ensure that raw
materials, intermediates, APIs, and containers
conform to established standards of quality and
purity.

Poor Sanitation Found at Pharmacy Linked to Meningitis Outbreak - NYTimes.com
"A federal inspection of a company whose tainted pain medicine has caused one of the worst public health drug disasters since the 1930s found greenish-yellow residue on sterilization equipment, surfaces coated with levels of mold and bacteria that exceeded the company’s own environmental limits, and an air-conditioner that was shut off nightly despite the importance of controlling temperature and humidity."
"The findings, made public on Friday by the Food and Drug Administration, followed a report from Massachusetts regulators on Tuesday and offered disturbing new details in an emerging portrait of what went wrong inside the New England Compounding Center, the pharmacy at the heart of a national meningitis outbreak in which 25 people have died, 313 more have fallen ill and as many as 14,000 people are believed to have been exposed."
