Biochem Technical Services LLC (Biochem) and its owner, Raoul Keith Mangrum Jr., are accused of violating the state public health code involving mismanagement of medical waste.

The waste includes body tissue samples, contaminated bandages and laboratory equipment. A complaint was filed in Oakland County Circuit Court on Dec. 10 on behalf of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division.

EGLE alleges that Mangrum removed medical waste from his clients’ facilities and stockpiled the waste instead of arranging for proper disposal. According to a release, EGLE has documented violations of several other state requirements, including operating without authorization and failure to keep adequate records.
