Contact Solution Recall Blog

Nancie Drake of northeast Texas filed a lawsuit on Nov. 29 in the Marshall Division of the Eastern District of Texas against Bausch and Lomb for its ReNu with Multiplus soft contact lens solution.

It is the second product liability suit she filed against Bausch and Lomb for its contact lens solution. Her first suit was dismissed without prejudice from the multi-district litigation concerning ReNu with MoistureLoc.

Drake claims the contact solution infected her eye with fungus. She states that she lost sight in her eye and eventually, the eye had to be removed due to the infection. She believes her eye infection might have responded to medical treatment if the defendant Bausch and Lomb had warned of the symptoms, scope, or severity of the possible injury.

The complaint claims the ReNu with Multiplus was either defective in its chemical composition or defective through contaminants introduced during the manufacturing process.

The plaintiff states Bausch and Lomb committed acts of negligence through failing to remove the product from the market, continuing the marketing and selling of ReNu with Multiplus, failure to warn of all possible side effects and misrepresenting and concealing the possible risks or dangers of use. According to Drake, the FDA notified the healthcare industry about a recall of the product in November of 2006 but defendant did not respond by removing the product from stores.
