Barry Cadden, the former head of New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts, will be sentenced in Michigan for 11 deaths more than a decade ago that were tied to tainted steroids. Steroids made in the dirty lab sickened more than 700 people in 20 states.
Michael Kruzich holds a photo of his late mother Donna during an interview in Lansing, Mich. Donna Kruzich was one of dozens of people in the U.S. who died after being injected with tainted steroids made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts.
“Most of the time she could not communicate with us. She was basically in a coma,” son Michael Kruzich recalled. “We knew she had meningitis — but we didn't know how she got it." "My mother is gone, and Cadden and Chin are responsible. My family would like to see Cadden go to trial. It feels like they’ve run out the clock and they just want it to be done,” he said, referring to state prosecutors.“We've ensured that this plea fits their desire for closure and justice,” she said in a written statement on March 5.
In 2012, New England Compounding was shipping pain-relieving steroids to doctors across the U.S., including a clinic in Brighton, Michigan, where Donna Kruzich and others received treatment. But the lab was a mess, leading to the growth of mold in the manufacturing process. Michael Kruzich looks over his late mother's autopsy results Monday, April 15, 2024, in Lansing, Mich.
