Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Dennis Quaid's twins' overdose nightmare has been put to an end. A Los Angeles judge has signed off a settlement agreement between the actor and the hospital where the twins were born.

Dennis and wife Kimberly will receive $750,000 from the deal they signed with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in December. The judge made the agreement official on Thursday.

Per the deal, the hospital does not admit any wrongdoing for the 2007 incident in which the newborn twins Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone were accidentally administered 1,000 times the recommended amount of heparin. The hospital was fined $25,000 by the California Department of Public Health for the incident.

The Quaids never sued the hospital. Instead, they filed papers against the drug manufacturer, Baxter Healthcare. They claimed that the packaging for the two doses of heparin are not different enough.

The action was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds, as per the settlement papers.
