GSK disputes '60 Minutes' report's implication of harm

This article was originally published in Scrip

Executive Summary

GlaxoSmithKline strongly rebutted implications made in the CBS TV programme 60 Minutes that patients were harmed as a result of manufacturing violations at its now-closed Cidra, Puerto Rico facility. The CBS programme reported 2 January more details about the $750 million GSK agreed to pay in October 2010 to settle US charges of manufacturing and distribution of adulterated drugs. GSK said it regretted the manufacturing violations at the facility highlighted in the CBS report, and emphasised that the problems took place between 2001 and 2005 and involved only one of the firm's manufacturing sites, which was run by its subsidiary SB Pharmco Puerto Rico.
