“In July 2007 Jazz and their subsidiary Orphan Medical pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of felony misbranding in their marketing of sodium oxybate; they also settled a civil suit at the same time. The matter had been raised by a former sales representative who filed a qui tam case against the company under the False Claims Act. Sales representatives had made sales calls to doctors who did not treat people with narcolepsy and told them about potential uses for the drug including fatigue, insomnia, chronic pain, weight loss, depression, bipolar disorders, and movement disorders like Parkinson’s Disease, and downplayed the risks described in the label's black box warning. A sales manager who had been involved in the illegal marketing scheme had previously pleaded guilty and a psychiatrist who promoted the drug had previously been charged. Jazz paid $20M in total and agreed to a corporate integrity agreement and to implement internal reforms.[9][40][41] The FDA sent Jazz an FDA warning letter about safety violations in September 2007.[42] In 2010 the FDA rejected Jazz' New Drug Application for use of sodium oxybate in fibromyalgia.[43] In October 2011, the FDA sent Jazz another FDA warning letter for failing to collect, evaluate, and promptly report adverse effects to the FDA after it started marketing the drug.[42] It sent another letter in 2013 saying that the problems described in the 2011 letter appeared to be resolved.[44]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_oxybate
Thanks for the 13 year old and very public news "scoop" - investigative journalism is your strength. let me guess, you were either fired or not hired in the first place?
Current employee pal. The page needs to be updated. It doesn’t disclosed alleged Medicare fraud and the 2020 CIA. I’m going to send in a revision. Any thoughts on what else it should include?
Dr. Peter Gleason and Al Coronia were thrown under the bus by Jazz. Bill Clarke was murdered same weekend, bludgeoned to death at a Jazz Conference in Maricopa County, Arizona. Jazz was targeted by the FBI and Dr. Gleason was targeted by Ashcroft. He fought the charges and they were subsequently reduced from 20,000,000$ to 25$. Fuck Jazz.
can’t wait! Maybe Jabba will honor employees with a number on the piano. After they reinforce the bench of course.
I always suspected the Angry Pirate.. He had seemingly lifetime tenure, and towards the end of his career he really didn’t even have any Job responsibilities, but still collected his paycheck. He’s passed now too, so he’ll never answer. ‘Hi Carol - you retired long ago, but we know you still watch Brucie’s back from the shadows. Maybe you’ll talk someday.
Stop with this historic bullshit - no one cares. No one cares!! The REAL ugly thing about Jazz is the stock price, drop in valuation, and bloated management layers . Layoffs coming folks - the only thing in our future that is growing are RIFs.
Your time would be better spent investigating UFOs or the Kennedy assassination - you are a conspiracy theorist on a matter no one cares about - NOBODY Keep up the great work and lets us know if you ever see Sasquatch. PS AC did not leave Jazz, he was abducted by aliens.
