Watchdog: Calls for maximum fine for Labcorp Early Development Laboratories for breaking federal research laws
From WisBusiness.com, January 2, 2022
MADISON, WI – U.S. regulators have cited Labcorp Early Development
Laboratories in Madison for breaking federal law, leading to the severe
injury and death of a monkey in its drug research program.
The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture report cited the laboratory after a late July
inspection with a violation of the animal handling requirements of the
Animal Welfare Act. The violation was of the more serious “critical”
variety.
According to the federal report, a monkey suffered a femur fracture and had
to be euthanized because of the way he was handled by laboratory staff.
SAEN, an Ohio-based national research watchdog group that monitors U.S.
research facilities for illegal activity and animal abuse, filed an Official
Complaint with the USDA. SAEN alleged both unqualified staff and
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee violations – both federal
crimes.
The complaint seeks the maximum penalty against the laboratory of $10,000
per infraction.
“We believe that Labcorp Early Development Laboratories should face the
maximum penalty because their handling of this monkey caused a severe
injury, suffering and eventual death,” said SAEN Research Analyst Stacey
Ellison.
