Lawsuit Filed in Federal Court Against Heparin Maker Baxter Healthcare
A defective drug lawsuit has been filed in Federal Court in Illinois against Heparin maker Baxter Healthcare in the wake of a near fatal adverse reaction experienced by the user. The defective drug lawsuit seeks compensatory damages for pain and suffering as well as punitive damages as the Plaintiff asserts that Baxter knew that the Heparin was contaminated.
In March of this year, the FDA announced that the active ingredient in Heparin was contaminated at some of its manufacturing plants in China. A month prior, in February, Baxter came out and said that they voluntarily recalled its defective drug Heparin sodium injection.
