FDA Compliance Expert in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

An FDA compliance expert was sought for a wrongful termination case brought against a pharmaceutical manufacturer. The expert was needed to consult on quality control testing procedures for the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. The plaintiff was employed as a quality control chemist who repeatedly notified his employer that a discrepancy report for discovered errors was required for FDA compliance. Management agreed but the documentation never occurred. Plaintiff contended that his termination was a result of his persistent attempts to ensure FDA compliance with regulatory policies and the company's attempts to hide the situation.
