SUMMARY

A ProPublica investigation reveals the FDA has allowed substandard drug factories, banned from exporting to the U.S., to continue shipping medications for over a decade, endangering public health.

This investigation exposed that the FDA permitted more than 150 drugs from these unsuitable factories, mostly in India, with serious contamination issues to reach American consumers.
