Federal health officials have warned freshman Wisconsin Congressman Steve Kagen that his allergy practice is in apparent violation of federal law for manufacturing and selling allergy shots without a valid license.
The Democratic congressman is a physician from Appleton and was sworn in earlier this month.
The Food and Drug Administration says in a letter that Kagen manufactured a variety of ragweed and grass allergen vaccines from commercially distributed pollen and sold the shots to patients at his clinic and in at least 24 other states.
It says Kagen did not have a valid license required for introducing a biological product into interstate commerce.
The FDA letter to Kagen was dated December 18th but wasn't posted online until January 11th.
Kagen issued a statement to The Associated Press saying he had been discussing the process with the FDA. He says his allergy clinic, like other clinics, compounds the allergen injections for patients who suffer from allergy and asthma symptoms.
A spokesman for Kagen declined to elaborate.
BTTT
I guess that goes to show you that there is no such thing as a sure thing.

It isn't nice to mess with Texas!!!
couldn't happen to a biggest @sshole. Only in a year like this could a guy with this little class get elected.
Imagine that! An obnoxious big mouth breaking the law! Must be bad Karma.
Democrats breaking the law? No way.
A liberal thinking rules and regulations don't apply to them. How unusual. Not.
What an embarrassment this clown is.
Kagan, get out of Mark Green's House seat !
