AMO Contact Lens Solution Recall and Free Claim Review For Patients With Serious Eye Injuries |
|
|
| On March 26, 2007, government officials began warning people to throw away AMO Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution, used for cleaning and storing soft contact lenses, after an investigation linked the product to a rare eye infection. |
| Plaintiffs represented
by Lieff Cabraser charge that AMO aggressively
promoted Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose
to healthcare professionals as well as
to consumers with representations that
it was a "highly effective cleaning agent"
and that it "is effective against the introduction
of common ocular microorganisms." |
| The Complaint
filed by plaintiffs represented by Lieff
Cabraser charges that AMO's contact lens
solution was not effective in disinfecting
contact lenses, and vastly inferior to
other multipurpose solutions available
on the market. |
| The
Complaint alleges that AMO's own data
demonstrated the product's lack of efficacy
in preventing the growth of protozoa
microorganisms, including "acanthamoeba."
The protozoa acanthamoeba are directly
associated with a disproportionate risk
and increased incidence of Acanthamoeba
keratitis in users of contact lens solution
products. Read more
on why AMO is liable to injured consumers. |
| The law in most
states provides several personal injury
claims for persons who have been seriously
injured by a consumer product for personal
use that is contaminated and unsafe. |
|
|
|
|
Lieff Cabraser is representing individuals who used AMO Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose contact lens solution and have also been formally diagnosed with Acanthamoeba keratitis.
