The FDA never inspected Johns Dental Laboratories during more than a decade in which it made the Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance, or “AGGA,” a dental device that has allegedly harmed patients and is now the subject of a criminal investigation. According to FDA documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the agency “became aware” of the AGGA from a joint investigation by KFF Health News and CBS News in March 2023, then responded with its first-ever inspection of Johns Dental months later. That inspection found that the Indiana dental device manufacturer didn’t require all cust...

The FAA said it opened the investigation after Boeing notified it that the company may not have completed required inspections, which are needed to ...

State and local governments are receiving billions of dollars in opioid settlements to address the drug crisis that has ravaged America for decades.

The money usually budgeted for those salaries was freed to buy an ambulance and cr...

State and local governments are receiving billions of dollars in settlements from companies that made, sold, or distributed prescription painkillers and were accused of fueling the opioid crisis. More than a dozen companies will pay the money over nearly two decades. As of late February 2024, more than $4.3 billion had landed in government coffers. KFF Health News has been tracking how that money is used — or misused — nationwide. But determining how much of that windfall arrived in a specific county or city — and how much will follow in the future — can be challenging. Most localities are not...

No one was seriously hurt, but the 737 MAX 9 had to make an emergency landing, with footage showing the terrifying scene as passengers sat next to the gaping ho...
