but you've never been to his lab? >> no.s animals that come to our hospital. >> reporter: dr. robert santos told us all he does is treat animals in the colony that get sick. how well do you know dr. young? >> real well. he's a personal friend. i can vouch for his character and him and cory, very passionate towards animals. >> reporter: in fact, last year usda inspectors visited the youngs' lab three times and found nothing wrong, but there have been past citations. >> in 2010 the usda cited him for geriatric dogs, several of them, who were underweight who walked with a stilted gait, who were quiet. >> geriatric dog will walk with an abnormal gait and be more lethargic. >> reporter: it's normal. >> it's normal for old animals. their kidney fails. their liver fails. their joints get art it'sic. >> reporter: he says -- arthritic. >> reporter: he says researches may not always be fair, but it's necessary. >> i think it's fair to see a little diarrhea or vomiting if a drug is effective or maybe too strong and they have to back do

>> this property would be secured for the crime lab and moving from hunter's point and surrounded by development as [inaudible] moving forward with that project and traffic investigations as part of the hall of justice moving out of that facility as approved in the general obligation bond. >> okay. colleagues i too have expressed an uncomfortable feeling around the $16 million price tag associated with this particular piece of property, but the reality is that finding 2 acres of pdr space is going to continue to be difficult to find, and i do believe that mr. updike has done his best in trying to negotiate the fair market value price. with that said dealing with the go bond makes it very complicated. meaning we go before the voters and see what we're going to do with this property requires us to honor that, but i can tell you as representing district 10 in the bay view that property owners see dollar signs and they're definitely using this as an opportunity to cash out. i will also say that given the high levels of -- the increasing crime trends that are happening. a lot has to do wi

. >> it kind of looked like a mini science lab, like a chemistry lab. makeshift lab, you know? there were several different jars of unusual-looking powders, strange looking, like burners and things like that that you would see in a science lab. >> leona white says the reason her husband had the lab was for their children, as a way to interest them in science. >> he would do things like mix baking powder and vinegar to make a volcano. >> but investigators soon discovered items in the shed that were anything but child's play. in a glass jar labeled "baking powder," forensic scientists found traces of mercury and arsenic. the arsenic was a special formulation which won't be identified here except to say it was odorless and tasteless. detective bailey confronted white with the lab results. >> and he had told me, that was crazy, absurd, and ridiculous. he said, there's no way there's arsenic in that. bring it to me and i'll drink every bit of it. a few minutes later, he said if i was going to kill this guy, i wouldn't use arsenic, i would do it with something much quicker and legal.

many samples are shipped to other labs around the world with the lab at columbia acting as a hub for all of the samples. dr. tang: once the sample comes into our laboratory, we will separate them into different components and put them in different storage condition to better preserve for current studies and for future studies. narrator: results from these samples combined with neurological testing and air monitoring have revealed a clear connection between exposure and development. dr. whyatt: this one insecticide in particular, which was the one we knew was being used the most, we were detecting it in about 70% of the mothers' blood and 70% of the babies' blood. the level in the mothers' blood and the babies' blood was basically identical. and then what we found was that the babies that had the highest level of this insecticide had significantly lower weight and length at birth anand significantly poorer mental and motor development at age 3 and significantly greater behavioral problems at age 3 things like adhd. and one thing that we're committed to is as we find evidence of harm,

we were looking at a different building for the crime lab and there was a problem with that building. we were trying to do -- design to build contract with the property owner i believe and this is in the mission bay area and we actually threw that out and didn't approve it and wasn't the process and i will the developer bailed out as well if i recall. that was in 2010 so we didn't put the crime lab into that bond, that public safety bond in that year so we did in the following iteration which was last year. i think the process for this -- it makes mow really me really uncomfortable and the order and the appraisal and the lease, the purchase option agreement, that order of things done and the appraisal done and things done prospectively what the price could be years from now from the out set of the lease. it doesn't makence to have a up or down vote on and i am uncomfortable voting on this but i know there was a lot of work to put this together according to the cap tap plan according to have a new crime lab facility. we have been dealing with a facility that is inadequate for years, pe

ashley downing is the co-owner of downing labs. they asked you to recall your sterile products. >> that's correct. >> reporter: and you decided what? >> no. >> reporter: why? >> because we are compliant with every state guideline. we actually have a sterile compounding license with the state. and we've met all of their guidelines and with no problems. >> reporter: did any parent of you think, given the n.e.c.c. story, why don't we be safe here and let's avoid even the appearance of a problem and recall all of our sterile product? >> we were confident in what we were shipping out. >> reporter: the downings may have been confident that no tainted drugs made it to patients, but the f.d.a. was not. in september the agency issued this press release warning consumers not to use downing labs' sterile products as they may pose serious risk to patients. >> pelley: you know, jim, it raises the question why didn't the f.d.a. force downing to recall those products? >> reporter: well because oversight of the compounding farmalcies falls primari
