  • "I think we are on track to get it open within the next week to two weeks, most likely at the outer bound two weeks," Califf told lawmakers at a U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.
  • The company initiated a recall of its infant formula products. In February, it closed the plant after reports of serious bacterial infections in four infants, which worsened due to the pandemic supply chain issues. 
  • Price Action: ABT shares are down 0.65% at $112.01 during the market session on the last check Thursday.
