[edit] Neutrality
I am tempted to put a neutrality banner on this article. It reads as a history of Baxter's accomplisments and nothing else. What about noteworthy negative items, i.e. in 1998 clinical trials of their their blood substitute HemAssit were stopped by the FDA when 20 people died. Baxter closed a $110 million plant in Switzerland and lost $500 million in research investment because of this.--Gregoryg72 05:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
That is probably appropriate, the article needs alot of work in general, I think all of the information on the page now came from their web page. --Theblog 17:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bubble Oxygenator
The article lists this as a development of the 1970s. I was product manager for bubble oxygenators in 1969, and they were by no means a new product at that time. Lou Sander 15:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Baxter's dialysis filters as a possible cause of 31 deaths in Spain and Croatia
This piece of information should be added to the article. Here are some external links:

[edit] Antiboycott case
The antiboycott case was said that it cost $6.6 million. Can someone talk about it?

[edit] Most of the article's content had to be removed
Almost the entire article was copied directly from Baxter's website, which explicitly reserves copyrights. It would be very helpful if somebody could add some basic additional (non-copyvio) content about the company, since now the article is pretty barren. I'll do it if I get a chance, but I encourage anybody who is willing to do so. There was also some recent news about recalled Baxter heparin, which is probably noteworthy (but I'd hesitate to add that without more background substance for the article).
