Additionally, the FDA may take appropriate action, including ordering the company to cease receiving, labeling, holding and/or distributing any or all drug substances, in the event the defendants further violate the FD&C Act, its implementing regulations or the consent decree.
The consent decree sets a strict timetable and requirements for the firm to ensure it obtains compliance with current good manufacturing practice requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetics Act (FD&C Act) & requires ongoing compliance auditing and reporting to the FDA.

Today, @SecBecerra visited a women’s health clinic committed to providing reproductive health care in Virginia. HHS is committed to protecting & expanding access to reproductive health care, including abortion & contraception.
Know your rights, visit http://ReproductiveRights.gov.
Spent the morning at Whole Woman’s Health Clinic of Alexandria. States like Virginia have become an oasis in a desert of care – health care providers, like the ones I spoke with today, are supporting women in surrounding states who now have restricted access to abortion care.
Patients shouldn't have to resort to social media to access necessary care already paid for by insurance premiums. We continue to call on health insurers to #FixPriorAuth and make agreed-upon reforms to prevent harmful consequences from delayed care. http://spr.ly/60113d2iH

My bloodwork is now normal with no signs of cancer, and I’m feeling pretty good with some 'new normals'. LLS was just a phone call or email away. This journey is not easy for any of us, but never forget, we are not alone." (6/7)
My family & friends set our plan in motion with a mobile blood drive & a day of activities to give back to those who gave to me: @impactlifeblood & LLS. Close to 75 pints of blood were donated & over $9,000 to LLS. I was healthy enough to be able to attend @LightTheNight. (5/7)
As a result of someone donating blood, my life was saved. I am forever grateful and I knew I needed to pay it forward. (4/7)
This new journey in my life was really tough! During treatment, complications developed which resulted in hospitalization, a stop in treatment, antibiotics, and numerous blood transfusions. (3/7)
Cancer was not new to me. I am a retired radiation therapist who has worked in oncology for over 45 years. It was my job to help and care for others. I treated both adults and pediatrics, and I am very familiar with LLS. (2/7)
"Somebody saved my life by donating blood, so I want to pay it forward. In January 2021, my new life journey was about to begin. After doctor visits, bloodwork, testing, and finally complete shock, I was diagnosed with large B-cell lymphoma." (1/7)
