Executive Summary
FDA's Atlanta District Office grants Leiner Healthcare Products permission to begin distributing previously manufactured OTC products if a third-party quality assessment deems the products acceptable under FDA methodology. In an Oct. 22 Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the Carson, Calif.-based firm says it will begin re-distributing a portion of its inventory in December. Leiner suspended its U.S. OTC production and distribution March 20 and initiated a voluntary recall in April after FDA found GMP discrepancies at the firm's Fort Mill, S.C., facility (1"The Tan Sheet" Sept. 24. 2007, p. 12)
