In 2005, the public became aware that thousands of patients underwent tissue, bone and organ transplants of untested body parts that were illegally distributed by the now defunct Biomedical Tissue Services (BTS). BTS was allegedly harvesting bone, skin, tissue and other transplants from corpses without the required screening for certain infectious diseases.

Why is it dangerous?
On October 13, 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered Biomedical Tissue Services (BTS) to immediately cease all business operations. In addition, the FDA demanded a recall on all human tissue recovered and distributed by this firm. This human tissue recall included bone, tendons, and skin, all of which may have been implanted into patients between early 2004 and September 2005.

These patients are at risk of developing serious diseases due to the use of untested body parts.
