Fleet Phospho Soda Side Effects Lead to Recall

The kidney damage experienced by Fleet Phospho Soda users is so bad that it sparked a recall of all Fleet Phospho products. The products involved in the recall include:

Fleet Enema
Fleet Enema for Children
OsmoPrep
Visicol

C.B. Fleet withdrew its products from the U.S. market following a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) alert that warned against the use of over-the-counter oral sodium phosphate (OSP) products, stating that put patient’s at risk of kidney damage.

Apparently, the connection between Fleet Phospho Soda and kidney failure has been known since 2006. It wasn’t until December 2008, however that C.B. Fleet withdrew its dangerous products from the market. Because of such negligence and failure to warn consumers of the risk of kidney damage, C.B. Fleet has been the target of several injury lawsuits.
