When is Robert Ford resigning?
Who’s got a link to the whistleblower’s letter to the FDA from October of 2021? Thanks for coming forward! Abbott doesn’t appreciate you (for obvious reasons) but real Americans do (especially mothers who need to feed their infants).
Ford did offer $5 million to families effected ! That’s a lot of money ! Just think of how many babies can be helped with all those millions of dollars. God bless Robert and his blessings and generosity !
What do you expect. This company has so many bad leaders who get praise, and promotions because they repeat the Abbott cue card messages, like a religion. Hit social media, write something positive and distract from the real issue. Profit focus is great but the quality went way down. And if you have a poor leader get rid of them show them out But no they get promoted instead. The new head of heart failure Keith is a prime example, he is bringing his toxic style to a great group and creating the same mess he brought to that Neuro division. Make better products, and dump these bad leaders. Shameful.

Ford doesn’t plan on resigning because he truly believes Abbott has done nothing wrong.
But he did issue a non-apology, apology in the Washington Post called “We’re sorry that babies have died and are hospitalized but it’s not our fault”

According to the FDA, the anonymous 34-page whistleblower report that was sent in October of 2021 “got lost in the mailroom” for months.
I don’t understand why Abbott didn’t broadcast Calamari’s testimony yesterday across Abbott TV’s and let everyone watch during work hours like they did for Robert Ford’s speech at CES in Las Vegas this year. It seems to be just as or even more important.
Chris Calamari’s answers were being spoon fed to him by attorneys off camera clearly. Guy was lying under oath. PR disaster.
Shoulda gone with “the dog ate it”. Sounds way more believable.
CC was made the scapegoat for Abbott. His boss hid behind the curtain.He looked like he smoked a fatty then popped a bottle of addy’s.
As a retiree, I am ashamed by our ped nutrition management performance. When it comes to baby formula, sloppy manufacturing is criminal! Our company always prided itself on quality, now we are blasted every day in the press for our misdeeds. Upset and ashamed!!!!!! Bring back Miles!!!!!
