The pharmacy linked to a deadly U.S. meningitis outbreak said on Friday that it filed for chapter 11 protection, Reuters reported. New England Compounding Center, the specialty pharmacy shut down after shipping tainted vials of a steroid, said it will seek to establish a fund to compensate meningitis victims. NECC, based in Framingham, Massachusetts, said it made the filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts.
