False Claims Act Attorney: Settlement Involving CareFusion

As attorneys that represent individuals under the False Claims Act, we wanted to announce that the United States Government has settled a case against CareFusion Corp. involving allegations it paid kickbacks and promoted its products for uses not approved by the FDA.  A California based corporation, CareFusion sells pharmaceutical products including under the name ChloraPrep.

Included in the allegations resolved is that CareFusion paid $11.6 million in kickbacks to Dr. Charles Denham while he was a co-chair of the Safe Practices Committee of the National Quality Forum.  The Government alleged that those payments were used to induce Denham to recommend, promote and arrange for the purchase of ChloraPrep by health care providers.

The settlement of $40,100,000.00 also resolves allegations that between September 2009 to August 2011 CareFusion knowingly promoted the sale of ChloraPrep when it was not approved by the FDA, some of which were not medically accepted indications.

The relator was Dr. Cyntha Kirk, a former vice president of regulatory affairs of the Infection Prevention Business Unit of CareFusion.  Her share in the case is $3.26 million. Her share part of an award to her for having the courage to blow the whistle on fraud against those cheating the Government out of money.
