FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — A Massachusetts specialty pharmacy suspected as the source of a steroid that has been linked to an outbreak of a deadly form of meningitis says it has voluntarily suspended operations.
In a statement Wednesday, the New England Compounding Center said it was working closely with the state Department of Public Health and other regulators to identify the source of infection.
The company said that immediately after it was notified about the infections it initiated a voluntary recall Sept. 26.
