Dennis and Kimberly Quaid sue Heparin makers
Now that Dennis and Kimberly Quaid’s newborn twins are stable, it’s absolutely no surprise that the couple are suing Baxter Health Care Corp., the makers of the blood thinner Heparin, the drug the kids got an overdose of last month.
CelebTV.com says the Quaids filed a suit in Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago for “an amount in excess of Fifty Thousand ($50,000.00) Dollars,” the suit says. “The objective in this case is not money,” attorney Susan Loggans tells CelebTV.com. “It’s to warn other parents about what happened to them.”
What happened was apparently the 10-unit vial and the 10,000 unit vials of Heparin are both printed with a blue label, making them “more difficult to distinguish than if they had different background colors,” according to the court papers.
What’s worse is how the suit says Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone “suffered and will continue to suffer injuries of a pecuniary nature.” We wonder if Cedars-Sinai is next.
