    • Abstract:
      House Republicans have threatened to subpoena the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as they increase their scrutiny of the agency's efforts to address quality issues with drugs manufactured in India and China. The Republicans, led by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, have sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf demanding answers about the agency's inspections of foreign drug facilities. The letter references a Bloomberg report that revealed the FDA ended a program to conduct unannounced inspections in India due to concerns about hindering relations with the country. The Republicans are prepared to issue a subpoena if the FDA does not provide the requested documents by January 5. [Extracted from the article]
