Our headline on an Around the Web item posted on June 8Ā stating that the former head of the FDA, Margaret Hamburg, had been “charged” with conspiracy and racketeering was in error. The wording “charged” implies a criminal case, which indicates that prosecutors believe there isĀ evidence to support such allegations. A civil lawsuit in federal court was filed against Hamburg alleging such behavior; Ā such civil actions can be filed regardless of their possible merits.Ā MIA regrets the error.
