2. When did the Heparin return to being Safe?

Officially, all of the contaminated heparin should have been off the shelves by April of last year. However, recalling millions of vials of contaminated heparin is an enormously complex process, especially in hospital settings where different supplies of heparin may have been commingled. If the your loved ones death or catastrophic reaction after heparin fits the resembles an alergic reaction to a bee sting type, call us regardless of how recently the adverse event occurred.

3. How severe of a reaction should we have before calling a lawyer?

All cases of death should be investigated especially those after January 1, 2007 until the present day as I write this in March of 2009. Further, all cases of “severe consequences” should also be investigated. “Severe consequences” means adverse reactions involving significant additional medical care, hospitalization or damage to any body organ or limb.

For example, if heart damage occurred, you should call. If the heart stopped and the body was deprived of oxygen or blood flow for a documented period of time, you should call. If there was gangrene or injury to any limb, you should call. There may even be cases of amputation resulting from contaminated heparin. All such cases should be identified.
