A Los Angeles hospital has been fined US$25,000 ($31,670) by state health regulators for giving overdoses of a blood thinner to three infants including the newborn twins of actor Dennis Quaid.
The California Department of Public Health cited Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre and 10 other hospitals for violations that caused or were "likely to cause, serious injury or death to patients".
Cedars spokesman Richard Elbaum said the hospital has apologised for giving the babies 1000 times the intended dosage of heparin in November. All three recovered.
