Michelle Hoyte also claims the agency fired her for complaining to her managers about the tainted blood. "There's supposed to be an internal system for people to report incidents like this," she said. "But the employees are afraid to do so for fear of being dismissed."

A whistleblower who claims the American Red Cross failed to immediately alert regulators when more than 600 pints of contaminated blood were released in New Jersey saw the bulk of her lawsuit dismissed Thursday in federal court.
Michelle Hoyte also claims the agency fired her for complaining to her managers about the tainted blood. That part of her lawsuit is still intact, but the Red Cross has filed a motion to have that final portion dismissed as well.
