Business news in brief

New Jersey will allow casinos in Atlantic City to run fantasy sports tournaments this year after an attempt to legalize betting on professional and college games in the state was blocked by a federal judge. New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement announced temporary regulations that will allow the casinos to accept entry fees and pay out winnings for fantasy sports games. The regulations will run for 270 days starting on April 22 with the intention of becoming permanent, according to the announcement. The fantasy sports tournaments will not be considered gambling under state law and entry fees will not result in revenue for the state, according to the regulations. The main purpose of the regulations will be to help casinos expand their customer base and draw more people to Atlantic City. Gov. Christie signed a bill last month allowing casinos to take online bets in an attempt to help Atlantic City casino business. - Bloomberg News

New Jersey-based compounding pharmacy Med Prep Consulting Inc. announced a nationwide recall of its compounded products due to potential mold contamination. The Monmouth County company said the recall was prompted by detection of particles in infusion bags of magnesium sulfate sent to a Connecticut facility. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware hospital pharmacies that contract with the company also got plastic infusion bags, plastic infusion devices, plastic syringes, and glass vials of its products. A Boston-area compounding pharmacy was shut down in 2012 when bacteria in a steroid caused an outbreak of fungal meningitis. - David Sell

The Treasury Department auctioned $35 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.085 percent, down from 0.095 percent last week. An additional $30 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.110 percent, down from 0.115 percent last week. The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value. For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,997.85 while a six-month bill sold for $9,994.44. That would equal an annualized rate of 0.086 percent for the three-month bills and 0.112 percent for the six-month bills. Separately, the Federal Reserve said the average yield for one-year Treasury bills was unchanged at 0.15 percent last week, the same as the previous week. - AP
