Infected Tissue Scandal Grows

The AP is reporting:

A macabre scandal in which corpses were plundered for body parts could be even bigger than previously disclosed, with one company alone saying it has distributed thousands of pieces of human tissue that authorities fear could be tainted with disease.

In addition, three other companies have reported quarantining or destroying more than $5 million in tissue from Biomedical Tissue Services -- the now-defunct New Jersey supply house at the center of the scandal.

This has led many who have received letters from the FDA to seek legal advice concerning infected issue.
