Mold in a class 100 production room and holes in a ceiling at a CP Pharmaceuticals plant in Wrexham, U.K., are part of a list of violations identified by FDA inspectors in Warning Letter 320-11-002. The letter follows a July inspection. Because CP took more than 15 days to reply to the Form 483 report issued after the inspection, the regulator doesn't acknowledge them in the warning.
