Dennis Quaid sues pharmaceutical company

LOS ANGELES The suit follows the overdoses that threatened the lives of his newborn twins in 2007.

According to the suit, the twins were administered multiple near fatal doses of heparin to treat a staph infection.

Heparin and a lower-dose version called Hep-Lock are both packaged in blue vials with small print on the labels.

Last year, /*Quaid*/ and his wife settled with the hospital for $500,000.
