<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks to Anne LeMere of Unity Hospice for sharing Mallinckrodt’s press release, which states that: “</span>The pouch-based systems that Mallinckrodt is donating deactivate prescription drugs and render chemical
compounds safe for landfills. The pouches are also biodegradable, providing an environmentally responsible way to deactivate and dispose of drugs.”<span style="color:#1F497D"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Can any government officials on this list verify that their agencies approve of these pouches being landfilled?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Before millions of these pouches end up in landfills, I would like to know whether government officials WANT them in their landfills and consider this a safe disposal method. Has anyone seen the company’s data
showing the criteria they use for landfill safety and biodegradability?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
