On the podcast, Lisa and I discuss her work on the U.S. federal government’s investigation of Ranbaxy USA Inc. (“Ranbaxy”), a subsidiary of Indian generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited. Ranbaxy pleaded guilty to felony charges related to the manufacturer and distribution of adulterated drugs made at facilities in India. The investigation and prosecution of Ranbaxy lead to the largest federal drug safety settlement (as of May 13, 2013) of a criminal fine and forfeiture totaling $150 million plus and additional $350 million to settle civil claims under the False Claims Act and related State laws.
