Apparently Hospira didn't care if its muscle cars stalled—as The Times reports, its manufacturing problems became public after the company initiated a plan designed to save more than $100 million a year by, for example, shrinking the work force. Some shareholders filed a lawsuit against Hospira claiming that the initiative led to deep cuts in quality control and the failure to maintain equipment. An Hospira executive, The Times said, acknowledged the company had gotten "a little lazy" and was "skating behind the puck." There must be a lot of errant pharmaceutical industry pucks. Last year, Ben Venue closed a plant after FDA inspectors found rusty tools, mold and a barrel of an "unknown liquid" later determined to be urine. A.P.P. Pharmaceuticals received a warning letters when FDA inspectors said it failed to investigate problems including human hair and fungal growth in vials. There were also reports of vials infested with weevils and spiders.
