FDA weighs ban on contaminated Abbott intravenous fluids
The FDA considers emergency removal of Abbott intravenous sugar solution from hospitals after warnings failed to curb infections. The CDC and Public Health Service reported 150 bloodstream infections and nine deaths across eight hospitals from October 1970 to March 1. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader criticized the FDA for not banning the product earlier. Abbott Laboratories said they suspended shipments except on an emergency basis and would cooperate with authorities.
