FDA warns of fake saline after 1 dies; 40 ill
The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Wednesday that more than 40 patients were incorrectly injected with “simulated saline.” One patient died and others were hospitalized with fever, chills, tremors and headaches.
The bags, which look like normal saline, are labeled “for clinical simulation” and are designed to be used on dummies — not people.
