January 28, 2008 (Deerfield, IL) - Baxter Healthcare is recalling nine lots of heparin sodium injection 1000 units/mL 10-mL and 30-mL multidose vials from the US market due to an increase in the number of reports of adverse reactions and one possible death that may be associated with the product [1].

The company, which began recalling the lots on January 17, said it normally receives 60 to 70 reports during a given year of possible reactions to heparin, but it has received around 150 such reports already in January.
