Abbott Laboratories confirmed Friday that the Justice Department had launched an investigation into operations related to its Michigan baby formula plant.

Last May, Abbott announced it had reached a deal with the Food and Drug Administration to re-start the Sturgis operation that shut down amid recalls, contributing to the baby formula shortage.

Justice consumer-protection branch, which was involved in last year's Abbott settlement, which has criminal as well as civil authority, was involved last year in a settlement with Abbott, is involved in the current inquiry, the newspaper reported.

As babies are still starving. This administration screwed up again. Wasn't the transportation secretary supposed to be on this? Wait, never mind.

Should haven happened in 2020 can't believe this went on for so long. If it wasn't for people not being able to find milk nobody would have know about it still. The Trump administration and his FDA employees failed miserably on this. I just hate it took so long to get attention.

Oh oh. Bidens pet DoJ will plant something there if they find nothing.

I think the government will have a really difficult time convincing a jury that they told them to shutdown and when to reopen then they want to penalize them.
