Abbott Laboratories faces a criminal investigation by the Justice Department, after its recall of formulas due to complaints of bacterial infections exacerbated a shortage that began due to pandemic-induced supply chain issues.
The Justice Department was investigating conduct at Abbott’s plant in Sturgis, Michigan,
According to an Abbott spokesman, they are fully cooperating with the Justice Department without specifying what aspect of the company is under scrutiny.
In February 2022, Abbott, the biggest US supplier of baby formula, recalled Similac and other infant formula products produced at its Michigan facility after reports of bacterial infections in babies who had consumed products made there.
The US Food and Drug Administration found "shocking" results during an inspection, such as cracks in vital equipment, inadequate hand-washing, and evidence of previous bacterial contamination.
The plant has since reopened.
