Contact Lens Solution Dangers and Side Effects - ReNu Recall - MoistureLoc Attorney
Medical optic giant Bausch & Lomb was recently forced to put an immediate halt on all shipping of its ReNu MoistureLoc brand contact lens solution throughout the United States after a number of consumers began to suffer from a serious eye infection linked to the product. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention alerted the Food and Drug Administration of 109 initial reports of an uncommon fungal infection across 17 states that could potentially lead to vision problems - even blindness. Although the FDA has not found a link between the Fusarium fungus and particular product, 26 of these people were found to have used the ReNu MoistureLoc solution. This action on April 11, 2006 follows a similar Bausch & Lomb suspension of product shipment in Hong Kong and Singapore due to initial reports of eye infections in February of 2006.
Based in Rochester, New York, Bausch & Lomb was founded in 1853 and has since become one of the world’s largest suppliers of contact lenses, optic cleaning supplies, and surgical instruments. With over 10,000 employees in the United States and having earned over $2.23 billion in revenues in 2005, Bausch & Lomb is one of the most important businesses in America today. While millions of people around world trust and rely on Bausch & Lomb products every day, this trust is eroded when the company’s products are linked to such potentially dangerous problems.
Unfortunately, because Bausch & Lomb is such a large and powerful entity, the company has vast resources to draw from when defending themselves against allegations of defective products. If the history of corporate accountability is any indication, individuals injured by the side effects of such products as ReNu MoistureLoc brand contact lens solution will have to fight aggressively in order to force the company to take responsibility for the unjust injuries and will need the best legal guidance available in order to ensure that their voice is heard. Experienced and dedicated legal representation can help ensure that even large corporations like Bausch & Lomb are held accountable for the actions that compromise consumer safety.
If you or someone you know developed a severe eye infection due to the ReNu MoistureLoc brand contact lens solution, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your physical and emotional suffering. Americans who helped the company pull in $45 million for the ReNu MoistureLoc system last year deserve answers, and consumers should not be forced to pay for a company’s negligence or irresponsibility. A knowledgeable product liability attorney cannot help alleviate these devastating side effects, but they can help you fight to get the restitution you deserve.
