: Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyer BlogHospital and Illinois Drug Company sued for Heparin overdoes
By Hurley, McKenna & Mertz
The families of two newborns who died after they were inadvertently given massive doses of heparin have sued an Indianapolis hospital and the Illinois-based company, Baxter Healthcare Corp., that makes the blood thinner.
The Chicago Tribune reports that parents of two of the three newborns who died in September 2006 filed suit after injections of heparin that were 1,000 times greater than the recommended dose for infants were administered. Also suing are the parents of two infants who were overdosed but survived. The error occurred in part because of a mix up over labeling, which Baxter changed in October 2007.
Baxter recalled all its heparin vials in February after receiving contaminated ingredients from a supplier, Baxter officials said.
