Federal investigators are looking into manufacturing issues at a
Pfizer Inc. (PFE) plant that led to shortages of the EpiPen
emergency treatment for allergic reactions.
Pfizer received a civil investigative demand from the U.S.
Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York seeking
records and information related the issues, the New York drug maker
said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 issued a warning
letter to Pfizer's Meridian Medical Technologies unit over
violations at the Brentwood, Mo., plant that makes the EpiPen
auto-injector products for Mylan N.V. (MYL), which was forced to
recall thousands of the devices.
Pfizer said it intends to produce records in response to the
civil investigative demand.
