Pittsburgh, PA -- Mylan Inc. announced that the company and its subsidiary, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have filed a civil lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Monongalia County, West Virginia, against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette following a series of articles the newspaper published that the company believes are "sensational and misleading" and "based on improperly obtained and misconstrued confidential internal documents." Mylan maintains that the articles "mischaracterized a minor deviation from an internal Mylan procedure, creating the false appearance of significant quality and regulatory issues at the company's Morgantown, W.Va., plant when no such issues existed." The company added that the FDA had recently concluded a review at the facility and "determined that there were no deficiencies and that no action was required."
