Italy, France and Denmark Pull Heparin from Stores. Tainted Product Sparks Lawsuits in America.

Health officials in Denmark, France and Italy began recalling stores of the blood-thinning drug heparin and any ingredients used in it that had originated in China, over worries some batches are tainted, reported the New York Times on March 26, 2008.

In America, the drug has been linked to 19 deaths and hundreds of allergic reactions.

The lots were manufactured by Baxter International and used ingredients from China. Investigators discovered that the faulty batches contained a contaminant.

Baxter has recalled most of its heparin products.

In Germany, heparin made by Rotexmedica from Chinese raw materials is believed to be the cause of more than 80 cases of allergic reactions.
