A couple of months ago the Red Cross was fined $4,200,000 for problems with its blood supply. Earlier this week they were hit with another fine, this one for $5,700,000. In a court settlement in 2003 the Red Cross agreed to a plan to ensure that they would detect and correct any problems with its blood supply. In the first comprehensive evaluation made by the FDA of the the Red Cross' compliance with the plan, they found 204 deviations from the plan.
This brings to $15,000,000 the amount that the Red Cross has been fined since 2003.
