The Tennessean (1/7, Roche, 417K) reports people affected by 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak have just “one more week to file claims in the bankruptcy case of a Massachusetts drug compounding firm” that was responsible “for sickening some 751 patients, including 153 who were treated in Tennessee.” The paper says lawyers for victims said in a statement Monday  “that those who fail to meet a Jan. 15 deadline will likely be forever barred from the chance to share in more than $100 million” that victims and other creditors could get out “of the now-defunct New England Compounding Center.”
