Washington-AP -- It's another in a series of embarrassments for the Red Cross.
Government regulators say the organization received reports that 134 people got hepatitis B after blood transfusions. One of the people died.
But the Food and Drug Administration says the Red Cross never investigated the cases -- because of internal policies that violate government safety rules.
The F-D-A uncovered the infections during an inspection at Red Cross headquarters. It's pushing to find out if bad blood was to blame.
Safety violations have plagued the Red Cross for more than ten years. The charity says it's working hard to improve. The Red Cross provides 45 percent of the nation's blood supply.
Ageless cosmic rocker!
