DETROIT, June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. (NYSE Amex: CPD) announced that U.S. Marshals, at the request of the Food and Drug Administration, today arrived and seized drug products manufactured in its Michigan facilities. The seizure also included ingredients held at these same facilities. The FDA's most recent inspection of Caraco's Detroit facility, completed in May 2009, found unresolved violations of cGMP requirements as previously disclosed in our last SEC filing on Form 10-K filed June 15, 2009. The Company believes that corrective actions have been made and continual improvements are in process. The FDA has only seized products manufactured in its Michigan facilities. Products distributed by Caraco that are manufactured outside of these facilities are not impacted. While we have not fully determined the impact of this action by the FDA on our financial condition, we believe that it may have a material adverse effect on our near term operations. We anticipate working with the FDA to resolve these concerns as effectively and expeditiously as possible. The Company will provide updates as information becomes available. Detroit-based Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd., develops, manufactures, markets and distributes generic and private-label pharmaceuticals to the nation's largest wholesalers, distributors, drugstore chains and managed care providers.
