Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly Buffington have sued Baxter Healthcare Corporation, the manufacturer of the anti-coagulant Heparin on Tuesday (Dec 4) in Chicago.
The couple's newborn twins Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone were mistakenly overdosed 1,000 times the recommended dose of Heparin on Nov. 18 while hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The twins were very critical for a while but have fully recovered and back home now.
The lawsuit, which seeks more than $50,000 in damages, claims the Baxter Healthcare Corp. failed to properly label vials of its product and that the 10-units-per-milliliter vial and the 10,000-units-per-milliliter are virtually identical.
The Quaids assert that the company knew of previous dosage mix-ups, yet failed to recall shipments of the drug or properly warn hospitals of the dangers. Link Tags:
