Dennis Quaid Sues Drug Company


Dennis Quaid and wife Kimberly Buffington have filed a suit today against Chicago-based Baxter Healthcare Corp. for making the drug Heparin, which they claim seriously injured their newborn twins.

Quaid's attorney Susan E. Loggans told the Chicago Sun Times their babies, Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone, "were very critical for a while" after being given an accidental overdose of the drug at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last month.

She said the twins have recovered and "everything looks good."

Quaid is suing because he wants to prevent it from happening to any other children. Loggans said three children died in Indiana from a similar mix-up with the drug.
