Excerpt:

Ameridose LLC, an affiliate of the New England Compounding Center at the heart of the deadly U.S. meningitis outbreak, is laying off about 90 percent of its workforce. The action follows a suspension of its operations amid concerns about the sterility of its drug-mixing practices. The Westborough, Mass. -based company notified employees in a letter on Friday that while it expects to resume operations at some point, "we have now determined that because of the continued inspection by state and federal authorities it may be necessary to resume operations at a reduced level." Ameridose was closed on October 10 to allow state and federal investigators to inspect its facilities. The company is scheduled to remain closed until November 19. Ameridose has the same owners as NECC, which distributed a tainted steroid that has been linked with 31 deaths.
