If this is posted already im sorry.
But i saw a commercial stating that people using this medicine can call a number to file for a class action lawsuit.
It didnt state much more then that.  And i know many here use this medicine.
Im sure it can be googled if you want more information.

This lawsuit is not about heparin in general.  It is about specific heparin products imported by Baxter from China, products that used inferior ingredients to save  money and that resulted in a number of deaths.  The tainted products were recalled some time ago.
