Get Started:
C.B. Fleet Laboratories has been the target of several Fleet Phospho Soda lawsuits. Since the early 1990s, C.B. Fleet has made and marketed bowel cleansing products to treat constipation and prepare patients for colonoscopies and other intestinal procedures. However, the company recalled all of its Phospho Soda products in December 2008, following an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) alert that warned the medication may result in severe damage to the kidneys.
According to reports, Fleet Phospho Soda has been linked to a condition known as acute phosphate nephropathy (APN). This form of kidney failure can have devastating, life-altering effects including chronic kidney disease, kidney dialysis treatments, kidney transplants and death.
Treatment for APN can therefore be life-long and extremely costly. Fleet Phospho Soda lawsuits are the legal actions that seek compensation for such losses from C.B. Fleet. In most cases, C.B. Fleet can be held accountable for much more than the financial costs, including:
While there have been numerous lawsuits filed against C.B. Fleet based on injuries linked to their bowel-cleaning products, one of the more recent Fleet lawsuit includes three plaintiffs who are all suffering from kidney failure after using Fleet Phospho Soda.
Filed on Feb. 17, 2009, the lawsuit alleges that the three women all purchased two bottles of the over-the-counter oral sodium phosphate laxative (at different stores) to use as a preparation for colonoscopy procedures. All three women fell ill within days after using the bowel-cleansing products. One of the plaintiffs is now waiting on a kidney transplant.
The lawsuit filed on behalf of the three injured women alleges that C.B. Fleet was negligent in the production and marketing of Phospho Soda. The lawyers fighting on the plaintiffs’ behalf argue that C.B. Fleet should have performed safety tests on the products and should have known of the potential health risks, specifically kidney failure, linked to their products.
C.B. Fleet has faced over 150 Phospho Soda lawsuits since 2004.
If you or a loved one has suffered from kidney failure or another adverse effect after using a Fleet Phospho Soda product, you will likely be eligible to seek compensation from C.B. Fleet by filing a defective product lawsuit. To secure the best possible outcome in your case, you should speak with an experienced Fleet Phospho Soda lawyer who understands defective products lawsuits and has access to medical experts that can help prove your case.
