- FDA Warning Letter: FDA warns La Estrellita Enterprises, Inc., dba La Estrellita Salsa Company (Brighton, CO), that a February 2010 inspection of the company's manufacturing facility revealed serious deviations from the Acidified Food regulations.
- Medical Device Recall: FDA orders Baxter Healthcare Corp. to recall and destroy all of its Colleague Volumetric Infusion Pumps (Colleague pumps) currently in use in the United States. This action is based on a longstanding failure to correct many serious problems with the pumps. The FDA believes there may be as many as 200,000 of those pumps currently in use. Infusion pumps are devices that deliver fluids, including nutrients and medications, into a patient’s body in a controlled manner. They are widely used in hospitals, other clinical settings and, increasingly, in the home because they allow a greater level of accuracy in fluid delivery.
