Death toll from meningitis outbreak hits 24

A week prior to this becoming news I had the procedure done, fortunately in Texas where they didn't use the products of the MA company.
 
Since the release of a tainted steroid injection by NECC and Alaunus Pharmaceutical, some 419 cases of fungal meningitis have been confirmed by the Food and Drug Administration. Of those numbers, 30 people have died, including Daniel Rohrer, whose family has filed the first wrongful death suit against NECC and the pharmaceutical company. Rohrer’s death was considered the 25th death nationwide and the 3rd death related to the recent meningitis outbreak in the state of Indiana. Due to the number of people exposed, the confirmed cases diagnosed and the number of complaints that have been filed in both state and federal courts, this matter may end up in a multi-district litigation and possibly even in a class-action lawsuit.
