attention will this get? Imagine how much media attention
it would get if it were, say, Jim Sensenbrenner.FDA tells
congressman his allergy product shipments violate law

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal health officials have warned
freshman Rep. Steve Kagen that his Wisconsin allergy
practice is in apparent violation of federal law for
manufacturing and selling allergy shots without a valid license.
According to a letter sent to Kagen by the Food and Drug
Administration, Kagen manufactured a variety of ragweed
and grass allergen vaccines from commercially distributed
pollen and sold the shots to patients at his clinic and in at least
24 other states. The FDA letter, which was dated Dec. 18
but wasn't posted online until Thursday, said that Kagen,
D-Wis., did not have a valid license required for introducing
a biological product into interstate commerce. At issue are
products marketed by Kagen's clinic such as Poly RW, Super
Ragweed, Poly Grass and Super Grass. Kagen is a medical
doctor. In a statement issued to The Associated Press,
Kagen said: "Like other allergy clinics, the Kagen Allergy
Clinic compounds allergen injections for patients who suffer
from allergy and asthma symptoms. The FDA and I are
discussing this important compounding process, and how
best to treat affected patients safely and effectively, as we
have been for the past 25 years." A spokesman for Kagen
declined to elaborate. Compounding generally involves
preparing a customized medication for an individual patient
with a doctor's prescription, according to the FDA. While that
is legal, compounding operations run afoul of the FDA and
federal law when they produce drugs on a scale more consistent
with that of drug manufacturers than, say, that of retail
pharmacies.
