Hundreds fall ill from heparin after FDA fails to inspect facility. Have our lawyers review your case.

The lawyers in the Drugs and Medical Devices Litigation unit of Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. are currently reviewing cases of those who claim they have been harmed by the blood-thinner Heparin.

Baxter Healthcare Corporation, which manufactures Heparin, and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) are currently under the microscope for a recent dangerous mix-up involving the popular blood-thinner.

Last week, news reports revealed that the FDA had never inspected the Chinese facility that supplies the active ingredient for Heparin.

The FDA has admitted its supplier was never inspected because the agency confused it with another facility.

The FDA said that a team of inspectors is now headed to China to review the correct plant to determine what may have caused serious problems with Heparin.

Unfortunately, belated attempts to remedy this issue have come too late for the hundreds of US patients who have fallen ill as a result of the tainted heparin.

About 350 adverse events associated with the Baxter product have been reported since the end of last year compared to less than 100 reports in 2007, according to the Agency.

If you were harmed after being administered heparin, please complete the form below and a representative of our firm will contact you as soon as possible.
