The Food & Drug Administration is currently investigating facilities in connection to a rash of drug recalls.

Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit was the center of federal scrutiny after at least a dozen recalls were issued from the over-the-counter medical giant. A PediaCare recall, the medicine being recently sold by Johnson & Johnson to Blacksmith Brands, has especially stoked the flames of a Congressional investigation.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has intensified their current campaigns, checking more facilities than just the highly-suspect Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, plant. That factory had previously received over 20 citations from FDA agents after recalls. In order to bring it back to code, the plant was closed for a small period of time following the citations for these violations.

According to the new investigation, the House intends on looking at not only the Fort Washington location, but investigating the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, facility and a plant located in Puerto Rico.

Drug recalls can cause injuries and even death, leaving families that believed they were getting help without a clear plan through the future. For piece of mind, there may be compensation for those families.
