… on Wednesday after the Food and Drug Administration made the request to U.S. Marshals.
U.S. Marshals, acting at the request of the federal Food and Drug Administration, seized a wide range of intimate care products manufactured and distributed by H&P Industries Inc. and the Triad Group of Hartland, Wis., FDA officials said.
Seized items included cough medicines, cold medicines, medicated wipes, povidone iodine and benzalkonium chloride antiseptic products, as well as other products.
FDA officials said the seizure follows the firm's continued failure to comply with current good manufacturing practice or cGMP, regulations. The agency last week asked H&P Industries to voluntarily cease making and distributing drug products, but the firm did not heed the request.
FDA inspections at the plant led to three voluntarily recalls of Triad Group products since December 2010, including massive recalls of alcohol prep pads, povidone iodine prep pads and lubricating jelly because of problems with microbial contamination.
Investigators also found systemic problems that included issues with sterility and contamination and situations in which firm officials knew products were possibly tainted and sent them for public distribution anyway.
An inspection that concluded March 28 found problems with the firm's air handling and water systems and "failure to take proper measures to ensure the quality of incoming components," the FDA said. MSNBC
This is our government agencies doing what they are paid to do. Yet, if you ask the Republican Party, you and I do not need this kind of government regulation because most corporations/businesses will monitor themselves. What a freakin joke.
