Bayer Sells HIV Contaminated Medication
After Bayer Corp. knew its Factor VIII injectable blood-clotting agent was infected with the AIDS virus, they pulled the drug from the market in the United States. In order to turn a profit on the drug, they began selling it to other markets in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. As a result, thousands of hemophiliac children developed HIV and many ultimately died of AIDS. Not only were the hemophiliacs affected, but many of their family members became infected with HIV also. Regulators in France went to prison over the ordeal, but not one person in the United States has ever been charged for this crime.
