See this article entitled ‘Blood, Money and AIDS: Hemophiliacs Are Split; Liability Cases Bogged Down in Disputes’ that was in the New York Times. It mentions: “Mr. Dubin, like an estimated 6,000 to 10,000 hemophiliacs nationwide, became infected with H.I.V. after receiving a tainted clotting substance made by Baxter and three other companies in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.”
In addition, see this other article in The Guardian that advises that a writ was issued against Bayer, Baxter Healthcare, Armour Pharmaceutical, CSL Behring, Sanofi-Aventis US and Alpha Therapeutic “all of which exported blood products known as Factor 8 and Factor 9 to Britain. Some batches were contaminated by the viruses.”
