Summary Box: Feds close FDA Whistleblower Probe

Associated Press

CASE CLOSED AGAIN: For the second time this year, federal inspectors have dismissed allegations by Food and Drug Administration scientists who say they were pressured into approving medical devices.

WHISTLEBLOWERS: FDA medical device reviewers allege that agency managers improperly overruled their opinions and tried to intimidate them when they went public with their concerns.

WIDER SCOPE: Federal inspectors previously dismissed the whistleblower complaints in February, but agreed to reopen the case after lawmakers and outside groups complained about the limited scope of the investigation.
