    Notes:

    Founded Cutter Laboratories, Fresno CA -- later moved to Berkeley. Pharmaceutical company carried on by his son, Robert Kennedy Cutter

    From, The Cutter Incident: How America's First Polio Vaccine Led to the Growing Vaccine Crisis by Paul A Offit, Yale University Press, Sep 1, 2007.
    ----
    P. 72:
    Cutter Laboratories was founded by Edward Ahern Cutter. The son and grandson of physicians and community leaders, EA Cutter was born and raised in Sutton Quebec, a small village south of Montreal. When he was eighteen years old EA moved to Traver California, in Joaquin Valley, to become an apprentice pharmacist. In the late 1800's Traver was a down alive with commerce and energy, but when the rail line that would later become the Santa Fe Railroad was built on the east side of the valley, Traver deteriorated badly. So, EA Moved to San Jacinto, California, where he bought a small drugstore in the center of town. At the back of the store, in a room approximately eight feet by eight feet, he set up a laboratory. The laboratory served local doctors by performing tests on blood and urine.

    In 1897, at age twenty-seven, EA Cutter moved from San Jacinto to Fresno, California, married and bought another drugstore - the first in town to have an ice cream parlor. Again EA set up a diagnostic laboratory in the back and called it Cutter Analytic Laboratory. ....
    ----

    In 1903 Cutter Analytic Laboratory moved from Fresno to Berkeley and became Cutter Laboratories. one of the first pharmaceutical companies in the United States, Cutter's flagship product was black leg vaccine.

    Cutter Labs faced several challenges, the most newsworthy incident involved tainted polio vaccine that was recalled, but not until over a hundred thousand doses had been administered. The exposure is blamed for 56 polio cases and 5 deaths. Cutter Labs was not found guilty of negligence but was successfully sued for breach of implied warranty.
    As with any incident of this magnitude, there were many factors involved. The Cutter family took this issue quite personally and successfully changed their procedures and processes, providing quality pharmaceutical products for many years. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutter_Laboratories
    Cutter Labs was sold to Bayer in 1974.
