The Heparin Disaster


On February 14, 2008, Zoll, Kranz & Borgess, LLC was the first law firm in the nation to file suit against Baxter Healthcare Corporation and other related companies regarding contaminated batches of its drug, Heparin. We are continuing to lead the way with multiple cases filed in federal court and have ongoing investigations into possible cases both in and outside Ohio.


Recently, our law firm was honored when three of our clients, Leroy Hubley, Colleen Hubley and Johanna Staples, were invited by the U.S. House Commerce Committee on Energy and Commerce (one of the oldest standing committees of the U.S. House of Representatives) to speak on April 29, 2008, at a hearing entitled, “The Heparin Disaster: Chinese Counterfeits and American Failures.”
