A Michigan woman has died just months following an elective back surgery after doctors discovered the bone graft material used in her surgery was contaminated with tuberculosis. The material came from a now-recalled product that was distributed to seven states and implanted in 36 patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are now investigating after at least two confirmed deaths so far. Members of Congress are also getting involved.
