The words, “the cheap stuff” was a term that came from Baxter’s own internal records and I’m assuming it could have been emails or other reports that brought imageabout the term maybe from a marketing area.  You can read the article below where I suggested a couple of years ago to have reports electronically sent from factories to the FDA to indicate certified lot reports.  These would be tamper proof and give raw data on contents.  I would think both side would like this and it would help pinpoint problems immediately.  Of course it’s not 100% proof, but it would certainly help.  Last year B. Braun recalled a number of lots too.

Also, while we are at it, knock off those “blind” shipments that do not show the real location of origin.  There’s a lot of that going on too, many years in logistics I learned that in a hurry.  BD 

Baxter International has lost the first lawsuit in its ongoing legal battle over the contaminated heparin scandal in 2007 and 2008.
A US court has awarded $625,000 to the estate of Steven Johansen, who died in December 2007 after taking a Baxter heparin product contaminated with over-sulphated chondroitin sulphate (OSCS)

"The active pharmaceutical ingredient in the contaminated heparin received by Mr. Johansen and other Americans was obtained from Baxter/SPL's Chinese supplier, Changzhou SPL (a joint venture with SPL)," said the Nolan Law Group, which represented Mr. Johansen's family, in a statement.
"This crude heparin was referred to in the companies' own internal records as 'the cheap stuff'," it alleges.
