The number of deaths linked to tainted batches of the blood thinning drug Heparin has tripled.
The tainted supplies came from China. Federal officials don't have conclusive proof...but they now suspect 62 people died from allergic reactions to the drug.
Vials and large doses of Heparin were recalled in February.
The Federal Drug Administration will ask manufacturers to check coatings on devices like stents and catheters for contamination.
