Get Started:
Since the December 2008 Fleet Phospho Soda recall, several individual lawsuits and class actions have begun to spring up on behalf of patients who suffered injuries following use of C.B. Fleet’s bowel-cleansing products. Designed to treat constipation or to help clean the bowels before intestinal procedures such as colonoscopies, Fleet Phospho Soda has been linked to the development of irreversible, life-threatening kidney damage.
The class action lawsuits brought against C.B. Fleet argue that the products affect the function of the heart, kidneys and other muscles and may lead to the development of serious, life-threatening conditions.
One of the most common side effects experienced by Phospho-soda users is acute phosphate nephropathy (APN), an irreversible condition that often results in chronic kidney disease. Patients diagnosed with APN will usually have to undergo a series of life-altering treatments such as dialysis or kidney transplants.
Fleet Phospho Soda has been used as a laxative for many years; however, over the course of the last 15 years, C.B. Fleet has been marketing its products in double doses. C.B. Fleet has been claiming that a double dose of the laxative product cleans out the bowels completely before intestinal procedures such as a colonoscopy.
Sadly, a double dose of Phospho-soda often results in severe damage to the kidneys.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned against using a double dose of Fleet Phospho Soda in December 2008. Shortly after the FDA warning C.B. Fleet recalled all of its Phospho-soda products from the U.S. market. However, for many who have already been harmed by the products, the recall came too late.
Now, hundreds of affected individuals and families are beginning to join forces and seek compensation from C.B. Fleet. Defective product attorneys across the country are working with families in their efforts against the makers of the defective product, claiming C.B. Fleet negligently marketed its products, knowing of the potential side effects.
Depending on your individual circumstances, joining a class action lawsuit against C.B. Fleet may be the best legal option for you. To find out whether you are eligible to join a class action for your injuries, contact a Fleet Phospho Soda lawyer today.
