BOSTON (AP) Gov. Deval Patrick on Friday proposed tighter regulations on sterile compounding pharmacies following a deadly nationwide meningitis outbreak linked to a Massachusetts company. The proposal comes as the New England Compounding Center is trying to place blame for the outbreak on a cleaning contractor that provided once-a-month services to NECCs cleanroom facilities. The outbreak linked to NECC has been blamed for 39 deaths and hundreds of illnesses nationwide. Patrick said hes filing a bill that would require compounding pharmacies to obtain a special state license that he said would make it easier for regulators to hold them accountable. The bill would also create whistleblower protections for pharmacy workers and enforce new fines and penalties for compounding pharmacies that break the rules. There is, of course, no action that we in government can take to prevent all abuses in all industries, but we must do what we can, Patrick said. Patricks bill would also require that out-of-state pharmacies that deliver and dispense medications in Massachusetts also obtain a state license. Pharmacies and pharmacists would also have to report to an overhauled 11-member state oversight board whenever they are the subject of any disciplinary action by other state or federal … Continue reading →

The Framingham compounding pharmacy blamed for producing tainted steroid injections that have killed dozens of people across the country is pointing the finger elsewhere. Attorneys for New England Compounding Center recently sent a letter to UniFirst Corp., a Wilmington company that provides uniforms and cleaning services, demanding UniFirst take legal responsibility for claims against the pharmacy for the tainted drugs. UniFirst acknowledged that its UniClean subsidiary helped clean portions of the pharmacy's cleanroom facility in Framingham. But UniFirst insisted the cleaning services were limited and it was not responsible for the contaminated drugs. The firm said two of its technicians cleaned portions of New England Compounding's cleanroom for about 90 minutes once a month using the pharmacy's own cleansing solutions. UniClean was not in any way responsible for NECC's day-to-day operations, its overall facility cleanliness, or the integrity of the products they produced, said UniFirst spokesman Adam Soreff. We believe any NECC claims against UniFirst or UniClean are unfounded and without merit. Federal investigators found widespread evidence of mold and other contamination when they visited New England Compounding in October. At least 656 patients who received the injections for back pain last year, including 39 who died, have become ill … Continue reading →

A Massachusetts pharmacy linked to a meningitis outbreak says its cleaning contractor should share blame for the apparent mishap that left dozens dead nationwide. The New England Compounding Center sent a letter to UniFirst Corp. demanding it share responsibility for a tainted steroid used to treat pain and inflammation, according to a filing this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission. UniFirst Corp. acknowledged that it provided "once-a-month cleaning services," but added that the pharmacy's claims are "without merit," the filing says. Last week, the compounding center announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. The company said that it "seeks to establish a fund to compensate individuals and families affected" by the outbreak, which has been linked to 39 fatalities among the 656 cases tallied in 19 states. Patients contracted fungal meningitis -- which results in inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord -- after their spines were injected with a contaminated, preservative-free steroid called methylprednisolone acetate, health officials have said. According to health agencies, the compounding center did not follow proper sterilization procedures and distributed its products without knowing whether they had passed sterility tests. In addition, it distributed vials containing a … Continue reading →

By JoNel Aleccia, NBC News The compounding pharmacy at the center of an ongoing outbreak of fungal meningitis and other infections says the cleaning company it hired is also at fault for unsanitary conditions linked to more than 650 infections and 39 deaths in the U.S. The New England Compounding Center sent a letter Dec. 31 to UniFirst Corp., asking UniFirst officials to indemnify NECC against claims stemming from the compounding and sale of tainted steroid injection drugs, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This demand relates to the limited, once-a-month cleaning services the Company provided to portions of NECCs cleanroom facilities, UniFirst, of Wilmington, Mass., explained in required filings. Based on its preliminary review of this matter, the Company believed that NECCs claims are without merit. Federal health regulators found fungi in three lots of tainted steroids linked to infections and deaths and more fungi and bacteria in other drugs made by NECC. In addition, Food and Drug Administration inspectors found evidence of contamination documented throughout the NECC facility and dating from January 2012 through September. In some cases, surfaces were overgrown with visible mold, inspectors said. UniFirst provided services through its UniClean business as … Continue reading →

Click here to read about the road to recovery for fungal meningitis victims. The New England Compounding Pharmacy, which made the fungus-tainted drugs, sent a letter to UniFirst Corp., which provided once-a month cleaning services to the Framingham, Mass., lab, demanding it indemnify NECC for the meningitis outbreak, according to a UniFirst filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on its preliminary review of this matter, the company believes that NECCs claims are without merit,UniFirst wrote in its quarterly filing. The New England Compounding Center recalled 17,000 vials of tainted steroid injections on Sept. 26 before recalling all drugs and shutting down on Oct. 6. The Food and Drug Administration investigated NECCs lab and found that a quarter of the steroid injections in one bin contained greenish black foreign matter, according to the report.
