Abbott faces SEC investigation over infant formula debacle
CBSN
Abbott Laboratories is facing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with its formula business, the company revealed in a recent SEC filing.
The developments are the latest in a series of inquiries into the factors that precipitated the company's Michigan factory shutdown and kickstarted a nationwide formula shortage.
Abbott received a subpoena from the SEC's Enforcement Division soliciting "information relating to Abbott's powder infant-formula business and related public disclosures" last December, the company said.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
