Dennis Quaid and Wife Settle With Hospital

Dennis Quaid and his wife have settled with Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a mistake by hospital employees nearly took the lives of their infant twins last year.

A settlement of $750,000 has been reached in the case of the accidental overdose of Quaid’s children. The babies were accidentally given 1000 times the recommended dose of the blood thinner Heparin which left them in critical condition.

The drug’s manufacturer Baxter Healthcare Corp. is being sued by the couple who claims that it’s confusing labels led to the overdose.

They also claim that the company knew that there had been accidental deaths in the past due to this problem but yet failed to redesign the labels or recall the vials which hold a high concentration of the drug.
