Death by Heparin: The Responsibility Lies With...

According to an article in the Chicago Tribune, the FDA conclusively linked patients deaths to specific lots of Baxter International heparin.

Of 10 deaths from severe hypotensive shock, three were traced to lot numbers of Baxter products that tested positive for oversulfated chondroitin sulfate.

Baxter recalled its heparin products in February when the number of allergic reactions spiked. Health officials and Baxter believe that the contaminated heparin was done intentionally by Chinese suppliers.

Chinese health officials continue to question whether the problems may have originated elsewhere. The Chinese maintain the problems did not originate with active ingredient sourced in China despite analysis by FDA, Baxter and outside experts.

93 people died in a short three month period; that's one a day. The FDA needs to continue investigating why. The families deserve to know.
