Drug Corporation Fined $750 million

[From article]
"Because the drugs were improperly manufactured, false claims were submitted to government health-care programs for reimbursement, federal prosecutors said.
[. . .]
Eckard, who was sent to the Cidra factory in 2002, urged GSK managers to do something about the manufacturing quality -- and even to close the plant.

She was fired in 2003 for raising the complaints, Getnick said.

Eckard then went to the Food and Drug Administration which put together a case."
