Lawmakers subpoena pharmacy director

-

House lawmakers have issued a subpoena for the director of the Massachuse­tts pharmacy linked to the deadly meningitis outbreak.

The subpoena comes after Barry Cadden, cofounder of New England Compoundin­g Center, indicated through his lawyer that he would not voluntaril­y attend a congressio­nal hearing scheduled for Nov. 14, the Energy and Commerce Committee said Tuesday.

More than 400 people have been sickened by contaminat­ed steroid shots distribute­d by the compoundin­g pharmacy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thirty deaths have been reported.
