Akorn has been hit with its second warning letter this year, this time for similar issues at a different site, where the US FDA found the firm failed to adequately address problems with impurities and bottle defects. The Akorn letter may also be symptomatic of a larger problem being seen by the agency in the growing number of faulty root cause investigations.
