And of course, the ingredients that were used to make this heparin came from China. Honestly, can’t we do something about this crap being imported from China? Who’s big brain trust idea was this, anyway? Hill and Bill’s?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The widow of a man who died after receiving contaminated heparin told a congressional subcommittee Tuesday “we have a false sense of security” in a land where people expect to be protected and safe.

Brushing away tears, Johanna Marie Staples of Toledo, Ohio, said her husband, Dennis, was looking forward to his 60th birthday party on the last day of his life.

Contaminated heparin, a blood thinner used in dialysis and other treatments, has been connected to 81 deaths and 785 severe allergic reactions, said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations.

The heparin, made from ingredients imported from China, has been recalled by Baxter International and the Food and Drug Administration has blocked imports from the Chinese company.

I think it should be more than the FDA that blocks imports from the Chinese…they have absolutely no Quality Control, as was evidenced by the lead paint, the mold in the pet food, etc.
