Las Vegas Drug Contamination Lawyers

In 2008, it was discovered that a batch of Heparin, a popular blood thinning drug used in both hospital and outpatient settings, that originated from China was contaminated by an adulterant called "oversulfated chondroitin sulfate". This adulterant caused the death of a number of people in the United States and the serious injury of many more. These types of contaminations are actually more common than many people think, and also affect over the counter medications.

Different Varieties of Drug Contamination

From the Heparin scandals in 2008 to the Tylenol deaths in the 1980s, drug contamination can affect a wide variety of medications. Proving liability in these cases can be exceedingly difficult, however, so contact an experienced Las Vegas drug contamination lawyer is imperative.

Typically the contamination is done by someone acting outside the scope of the drug company itself: in the Heparin cases, the culprit was a Chinese manufacturing facility. The drug company will almost always claim that it was not their fault that their suppliers or other third parties introduced adulterants into their medication, and will fight with all their power to avoid liability.
