The organization made the request in a letter to Health and human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. It cited a Fall 2010 FDA inspection of the center which allegedly showed hundreds of violations of a 2003 consent decree between the FDA and the American Red Cross regarding safety of the nation's blood supply.
Public Citizen obtained the report through a Freedom of Information request.
The violations included allegedly failing to notify health departments when a blood donor has been found to have infectious diseases.
Since the 2003 agreement, the Red Cross has been fined $37 million dollars.
The Red Cross says the fine is unwarranted.
