Minn. Attorney General Demands EpiPen Maker Turn Over Sales Data

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson has joined the growing line of elected officials looking into huge price hikes for the EpiPen injector used by people with life-threatening allergies.

In a letter this week to Mylan pharmaceuticals, Swanson cited federal and state antitrust laws as the authority behind her demand for the company's pricing and sales data since 2007 — including its sales to Minnesota schools.

Swanson also asked that the information be turned over by Sept. 20 together with a sworn statement attesting to its validity.
