A Texas woman has filed a $10 million personal injury lawsuit against the manufacturer of a bowel preparatory solution that she said left her with renal failure and other side effects. A recent United Press International story did not reveal the name of the plaintiff but did detail the circumstances surrounding this product liability lawsuit against U.S. firm C.B. Fleet Company for its Phospho-Soda Bowel Prep solution. The Texas woman claims that she was given this solution in preparation for a colonoscopy, a medical procedure that is often preceded by a cleansing of the bowel. The woman has alleged in her lawsuit that the solution interacted with blood pressure medication that she was taking and caused permanent kidney damage and eventual kidney failure, and that Fleet knew of these potential dangers of this product with certain medications for 12 years but failed to do anything about it.
The woman’s Norfolk, Virginia personal injury attorney charged in the story that this case is a clear example of a company putting its bottom line ahead of the safety and best interests of its consumers. Jeffrey Breit and other members of his law firm added that while there have been other complaints about this product, they believe their lawsuit is the first one to be filed claiming personal injury from the solution. We’ll keep you updated on any developments with this personal injury case.
