Fifteen suits have been filed in federal court in the District of New Jersey in the past week against physicians at a Vineland, N.J., clinic who prescribed steroids from the New England Compounding Center, a pharmacy at the center of a deadly meningitis outbreak.
Named as defendants in the New Jersey suits are Premier Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Associates of Vineland and two of its physicians, Kimberley Smith and Thomas Dwyer. The suits claim Smith, Dwyer and Premier Orthopaedic were negligent for administering drugs from NECC without exercising reasonable care to ensure the drugs from that facility were produced in sanitary conditions.
