FDA removes list connecting Kansas clinics to meningitis outbreak
Several Kansas hospitals and clinics question a list put out by the Food and Drug Administration, linking them to steroid injections blamed for a deadly outbreak of fungal meningitis. The FDA has since pulled down its list, saying some of the information wasn't correct.
The list stated four Wichita hospitals and clinics plus the Hays Medical Center purchased the recalled medicine from the New England Compound Center. Eyewitness News contacted the Kansas hospitals and clinics on the list. They all told us they're double checking their inventories.
"We are mystified why this showed up this way. It doesn't match our records, invoices or packing slips," said a spokesperson for Via Christi.
LTAC Hospital of Wichita confirmed - at one time it had one recalled medication, but it expired before any patient could use it.
