In December 2008, C.B. Fleet voluntarily recalled an over-the-counter version of Fleet Phospho Soda, a bowel cleanser used before a colonoscopy, surgery or x-rays.
This voluntary recall came on the heels of a national warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which had just alerted the public that Fleet Phospho Soda products had been reported to cause severe kidney damage.
Additionally, the FDA's warning also mandated that C.B. Fleet include a “Black Box” warning label on all Fleet Phospho Soda products. These warning labels are the strictest level of FDA warnings, as they highlight a medication's potential to cause fatal side effects.
Despite C.B. Fleet's recall and the FDA's warnings about Fleet Phospho Soda products, many patients have already been injured – and many more will continue to be injured after using Fleet Phospho Soda. These individuals will likely be entitled to a settlement for their medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering.
Fleet Phospho Soda has been found to cause acute phosphate nephropathy, a serious type of kidney damage in which crystals form in the kidney and significantly impair its function. If left untreated, acute phosphate nephropathy can lead to kidney (renal) failure and, ultimately, death.
Patients may be sustaining severe kidney damage if they start to experience the following symptoms:
Upon experiencing any of these changes in health, patients should seek emergency medical attention to prevent further complications and, in the worst cases, save their lives.
If patients and doctors have assessed that the benefits of taking Fleet Phospho Soda outweigh its risks, it's also important that patients are aware of the product's expiration date and only take the laxative as prescribed.
Taking expired sodium phospates or overdosing on them can increase the risks of sustaining severe kidney problems.
