BOSTON - A federal judge on Friday tossed the convictions of a co-owner and former employee of a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy accused of conspiring to help it evade regulatory oversight before its drugs caused a deadly 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak.
They were among five people convicted in December of engaging in fraud and other offenses that helped boost NECC’s business before the outbreak, fueled by mold-tainted steroids it produced. State-regulated compounding pharmacies produce customized drugs pursuant to patient-specific prescriptions to address individual needs. But prosecutors said NECC was actually a drug manufacturer making medications in bulk.
