According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, tests have found a heparin-like contaminant in heparin blood-thinning products made by Baxter Healthcare Corp. in its laboratories that have been linked to hundreds of adverse reactions and at least four deaths in the United States.
Scientific Protein Laboratories released a prepared statement that said it was "premature to conclude that the heparin active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sourced from China and provided by SPL to Baxter is responsible for these adverse events."
According to Dr. Janet Woodcock, the acting director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the FDA has not determined the root cause of the adverse events, but have found a heparin-like compound, which is not heparin, present in some of the active pharmaceutical ingredients produced by Scientific Protein Laboratories
