The
health regulator said about 500,000 additional cans manufactured
by Danone would be sent to the United States.
Meanwhile, lawmakers grilled the agency officials on Wednesday
over what they saw as a lack of urgency in their response to
complaints about possible baby formula contamination at a now
shuttered Abbott Laboratories plant that led to severe
nationwide shortages.
Abbott controlled 40% of the market before the plant closed,
Christopher Calamari, president of Abbott U.S. nutrition, told
lawmakers, and the plant accounted for 40% of Abbott's product.

paragraph 2)
