Even producers of Law & Order appreciate the impact of counterfeit drugs.

An episode of a series of murders related to counterfeit drugs. The fictitious Shore Labs drug producer that manufactures an asthma inhaler as well as a mouthwash, Snow-Mint, that are tainted with DEG.

The FDA inspector discovers the tainted mouthwash at a dollar store and reports to his FDA supervisor, Leslie Lezard.

The FDA Deputy Director, Atlantic Division, covers up the tainted mouthwash by conspiring with the drug producer to avoid recalls.

The FDA Deputy Director was a former drug lobbyist and college ‘buddy’ of the drug producer, Bing Shore.

The only thing missing in the episode was a letter from Shore Labs to the California Board of Pharmacy requesting a delay to January 2011 for e-Pedigree compliance.
