Baxter Recalls Heparin Syringes

http://www.heparinrecall.info If you've been hurt by heparin, you may be entitled to a cash settlement.




Actor Dennis Quaid's twelve-day-old twins mistakenly were given an adult dosage, which is 1,000 times the recommended dosage for infants, in November 2007.[59] The overdose allegedly arose because the labeling and design of the adult and infant versions of the product were easily confused. The Quaid family subsequently sued the manufacturer, Baxter Healthcare Corp., for over $50,000.[60][61]

In July 2008, another set of twins born at Christus Spohn Hospital South, a Texas hospital, died after an accidentally administered overdose of the drug. The overdose was due to a mixing error at the hospital pharmacy and, unlike the Quaid case, was unrelated to the product's packaging or labeling.[62] As of July 2008[update], whether the deaths were due to the overdose is under investigation.[63][64]
