The AP (1/4) reported, "The Massachusetts compounding pharmacy linked to a nationwide meningitis outbreak that has been blamed for 39 deaths and hundreds of illnesses is blaming its cleaning contractor." Attorneys for the New England Compounding Center recently "sent a letter to UniFirst Corp. demanding that it take legal responsibility for claims against the pharmacy." According to the AP, "UniFirst acknowledged that a subsidiary helped clean portions of the pharmacy's cleanroom facility in Framingham, but maintained its cleaning services were limited and it was not responsible for the contaminated drugs."
