60 minutes. Needles
Description
Health care workers in eleven states have filed class action suits against Becton Dickinson, the world's largest needle maker, saying they have been stuck by BD needles without safety features. In the U.S., as many as 600,000 needlestick accidents occur every year. Workers stuck by contaminated needles can become infected with deadly viruses such HIV and hepatitis C. But while many safety needles have been invented, hospitals and clinics often won't buy them, 60 Minutes Correspondent Mike Wallace reports.
