Pfizer and one of its partners distributed a medication to children while knowing that the drug was adulterated, according to legal action unsealed on Nov. 20.

Pfizer and Tris Pharma distributed Quillivant XR, a drug for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), even though the companies knew the drug didn’t meet federal standards, the lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says.
