Heparin
China has once again flooded the US market with contaminated products. It has a history of sending over lead painted toys and other dangerous goods and the US has a history of doing a poor job of inspecting or regulating Chinese imports.
The latest imported health danger is Heparin, a blood thinner, made from the mucous membranes of the intestines of slaughtered pigs. This is often produced in China by unregulated family workshops. The contaminant, identified as oversulfated chondroitin sulfate, a cheaper substance, slipped through the usual testing and was recognized only after more sophisticated tests were used.
Congress has belated taken action to pass legislation requiring far more aggressive inspections of Chinese products. This is poor comfort for the over 80 patients known to have had severe reactions known to be related to the contaminant.
Consumers of this product have a valid cause of action despite the continual attempts to block the right to trial by jury by the conservative interest groups which have controlled appellant courts and legislative bodies too long.
