We've learned the FDA and CDC have issued a warning over certain batches of Propofol -- the drug found in Michael Jackson's home on day he died and the drug that may have killed him.
As far as we know the investigation is not related to Jackson, but certain lots from a pharmaceutical company in Irvine, Calif. have proven to be "tainted" and the company has issued a voluntary recall.
There have been no fatalities and so far the cases have only been reported in Florida, Arizona and Missouri -- but the CDC is urging physicians across the country to check their inventories because the product was distributed nationwide.

If you're a plastic surgeon, and Shauna Sand thinks you're shady, you know you're in trouble.
TMZ has learned that the skanktastic Sand was just one of 300 people that the Feds have contacted because they were "involved" with Dr. Daniel Serrano -- aka Dr. Jiffy Lube. Shauna tells us that Dr. Lube always "wanted" to work on her, but that she actually refused because she had a "bad feeling about him."
The government is giving these 300 saps -- including Vidal Sassoon, Mrs. Larry King and Diane Richie -- the chance to cash in on almost $2 million it seized from the good doc as punishment. Serrano has served nine months in prison and could be looking at a one-way ticket back to his native Argentina.
