Red Cross fined for breaking safety laws (AP)

A Red Cross medical worker takes blood from a volunteer in an undated file photo. The government fined the American Red Cross $4.2 million for failing to ask blood donors proper screening questions and skipping other steps meant to keep the blood supply safe officials said on Friday. REUTERS/American National Red Cross/HandoutAP - The American Red Cross said money it makes selling blood will help cover the latest in a series of multimillion-dollar government fines. The Food and Drug Administration ordered the Red Cross on Friday to pay $4.2 million for violating blood-safety laws. The record fine is on top of $5.7 million the Red Cross already has been assessed by the FDA since a court settlement reached in 2003.
