Baby formula producer Abbott used the massive windfall profits it accumulated between 2019 and 2021 to enrich shareholders, even amid a deadly bacteria outbreak that has contributed to the formula shortage.
dated October 19, 2021 suggests the bacteria outbreak was caused by equipment at the Sturgis plant that was “failing and in need of repair.”
A footnote of the whistleblower document states that the “complainant was advised by an operator that leadership at the Sturgis site was aware of the failing equipment anywhere from five to seven years from the [bacteria outbreak] occurring.”
