The vials all have lot numbers. We're told several days ago the DEA contacted &lt;strong&gt;Teva Pharmaceuticals&lt;/strong&gt; -- which manufactured one of the vials found at the house -- to determine who purchased it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teva sells Propofol to medical distributors, who then turn around and sell the vials to hospitals and doctors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, law enforcement sources say, the &lt;strong&gt;DEA&lt;/strong&gt; also contacted other manufacturers of Propofol from the other vials found in Jackson's home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the problem. Although every vial has a lot number, the vials are not marked individually. There are thousands of vials in a lot. So the DEA and LAPD are trying to hone in on the culprit but, we're told, it's no easy task.\n&lt;div class=\"clear\"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace=\"0\" height=\"70\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" width=\"14\" vspace=\"0\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/07/14/spacer-1.gif\" alt=\"\" /&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/michael_jackson_drug_pictures\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img hspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/07/14/0714_a_drugs_201-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
