Published: Nov. 13, 2012 at 10:27 PM WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. health officials say a six-week investigation found the pharmacy linked to the meningitis outbreak that killed 32 people has a long history of violations. Investigators from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said they observed many serious deficiencies and significant violations of law and good compounding practices at the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., dating back more than 10 years. Besides the 32 fatalities, there have been 438 confirmed cases of fungal meningitis in 19 states among about 14,000 patients administered drugs from NECC. The Massachusetts company has recalled all products made at its Framingham facility.
