The San Francisco Chronicle, Penni Gladstone Anne Gottsdanker was a five year old girl whose right leg was paralyzed, and her parents filed a lawsuit that became a landmark case in pharmaceutical company liability law. In the end at least 160 children were permanent paralyzed, 10 died, and perhaps 40,000 experienced less serious bouts with the virus. It turned out that 120,000 doses made by Cutter Laboratories in Berkeley contained LIVE virus. On April 25 came the first reports of children coming down with polio-like symptoms in the arms where they had their shot. The new Salk polio vaccine had been approved two weeks earlier, and millions of school children were being vaccinated. April 25 is the 50th anniversay of an event that became known as the Cutter Incident. Photo taken on 4/13/05, in Lancaster, Penni Gladstone Show More Show Less 2 of5 CUTTER146PG.JPG.
