FDA lists more data on meningitis outbreak


The deadly outbreak of fungal meningitis took more turns Monday when three Michigan residents sued the company identified as the alleged source, lawmakers said concerns about the drug date back a decade and federal officials released more information about facilities and products that might have been affected.

But shortly after the Food and Drug Administration posted online a more detailed list of locations that in recent months received products shipped from the New England Compounding Center, the documents were taken down from its website.

"FDA has found some technical problems with the list and some of the data are incorrect," press officer Erica Jefferson said late Monday. "FDA is working to correct the list and will re-post when we are sure it is accurate."
