On March 24, 2016, Meridian announced the acquisition of Magellan Biosciences, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Magellan Diagnostics, Inc. (together "Magellan"). Magellan provides point-of-care lead testing systems for the testing of blood to diagnose lead poisoning in children and adults. On May 17, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") issued a press release "warning Americans that certain lead tests manufactured by Magellan Diagnostics may provide inaccurate results." On this news, Meridian's share price fell $1.30, or 8.81%, to close at $13.45 on May 17, 2017. On July 13, 2017, the FDA announced that it had observed several potential violations of federal law during a recent inspection of Magellan's facility in North Billerica, Massachusetts.
