In this video from WSFA TV-12, news anchor Valorie Lawson clarifies a report about a lawsuit filed by Beasley Allen on behalf of a family whose mother died after receiving contaminated IV fluid. Although the patient died at Baptist Hospital in Prattville, neither the hospital nor the hospital system are named in the lawsuit. The defendant is Med IV, a pharmaceutical company in Birmingham, Ala., that packaged the IV fluid that was found to contain a bacterial infection. The IV fluid was officially recalled by the company March 24.
