Important!! Breaking News: Papers sought from pain clinics Subpoenas tied to meningitis outbreak Jun. 26, 2013


MARION — Two pain management clinics in Marion have received subpoenas seeking documents that could provide information on allegations their patients received injections of tainted medication that led to serious illness, an attorney with a steering committee appointed by a U.S. district court judge said.
The subpoena originated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, which is overseeing the consolidation of most cases in federal and state court alleging personal injury or wrongful death as a result of the contaminated injections.
In October, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began coordinating a multistate investigation of fungal meningitis among patients who had received epidural injections from three lots of steroids manufactured by New England Compounding Pharmacy Inc. in Framingham, Mass.; fungal meningitis is not contagious.
