Fleet Phospho Soda Recall South Carolina Injury Lawyer

Our Myrtle Beach South Carolina Phospho Soda Recall lawyers are currently offering free case evaluations to people who suffer from kidney damage as a result of using Fleet Phospho-soda or the Fleet EZ-Prep Bowel Cleansing System.

The manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall of Fleet Phospho-soda products. This voluntary recall stems from a Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warning that, when used in high doses, over-the-counter (OTC) oral sodium phosphate products (OSP) increase the risk of developing acute kidney damage.

Fleet Phospho-soda, and other oral phosphate products, are used to clean the intestines prior to receiving a colonoscopy and other related medical procedures. The FDA required the makers of two prescription OSP formulas (Osmoprep and Visicol) to add a boxed warning on their product’s labels indicating the risk of kidney damage – this is the FDA’s strongest warning.

The FDA recommended that OSP prescription products be used for bowel cleansing with extreme caution by the following groups with the greatest risk:

• people over 55 years of age
• people who suffer from dehydration, kidney disease, acute colitis, or delayed bowel emptying
• people taking certain medicines that affect kidney function, such as diuretics (fluid pills), medications that lower blood pressure, or those used to treat high blood pressure, heart or kidney failure medications and possibly those taking ibuprofen and other arthritis medications.

Kidney damage risks have been associated with OSP products like Fleet Phospho-soda, since as early as 2006. The C.B. Fleet company, and others like them, have neglected to warn patients about these risks. Our Fleet Phospho-soda lawyers would like to hold Fleet accountable for this negligence.

If you or someone you love have suffered any kidney damage as a result of using the recalled over-the-counter Fleet Phospho-soda products, you have rights and may be entitled to compensation in the form of damages. Contact an experienced Fleet Phospho-soda lawyer at our firm as soon as possible to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
