U.S.
Identifies Tainted Heparin in 11 Countries
April 22, 2008—U.S.
and Chinese officials trade blame for contamination of supplies
of heparin. Federal officials said Monday they had discovered a
clear link between the contaminant and severe reactions now
associated with 81 deaths in the United States.
But a Chinese official disputed the assertion that the
contaminant found in the drug, heparin, caused any deaths and
insisted that his country’s inspectors be allowed to inspect the
American plant where the finished heparin vials were made.
