A group representing the victims in the New England Compounding Pharmacy Inc. Chapter 11 case is asking the bankruptcy court to open the door for lawsuits against other potentially liable companies, such as health-care providers who administered the injections responsible for a deadly meningitis outbreak last year.
The official committee of unsecured creditors has requested that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Boston formally declare that New England Compounding is insolvent so it can begin that process, according to court documents.
