MILWAUKEE - Federal regulators say a New York medical products maker promised in June to recall alcohol pads it found contaminated with a potentially deadly bacterium, but then failed to launch that recall for nearly four months.
The company, Professional Disposables International of Orangeburg, N.Y., remained defiant even after U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests confirmed last month that the non-sterile prep pads were contaminated with Bacillus cereus, according to a statement the FDA issued to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week.
