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.

Adverse effects were reported in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, New York and North Carolina. The FDA said one clinic recognized the product and returned it. more
