Ok so let’s work with this using your comparison……OSHA finds a violation that doesn’t severely affect worker safety so they say “keeping doing business but fix your issue or else expect heavy fines”. Sound pretty close accurate?
if so let’s move to Abbott…..without the four false reports the plant would have not been shutdown because we know there were no product issues. So that said, the plant was shutdown, an investigation did take place and it was found that the plant did have bacteria in a non production place and never made its way into the production place. So basically no product safety issues still…so why not do what OSHA would have done? Keep producing the safe and needed formula, but clean the plant by X date or face severe fines??
By the way, I’ve never said it’s the FDA’s job to fix plant issues.
