Abbott Laboratories, the multinational healthcare company, is under investigation by the Department of Justice, Laura Stickler reports for NBC News. The investigation comes almost a year after the DOJ shut down a Michigan baby formula plant when illnesses came to light.
Abbott decided to shut down production at its Sturgis infant formula manufacturing plant in February 2022 after infants who consumed formula made at the plant became sick. The shutdown contributed to a U.S. infant formula shortage.
