Concerns over particulate contaminants causing blockages in vital blood vessels in the heart, lungs, or brain resulted in several drug recalls by Exela Pharma Sciences, LLC.
On October 25, 2023, Exela Pharma Sciences, LLC, based out of Lenoir, North Carolina, made an alarming announcement regarding a voluntary nationwide recall of specific drug products. The products in question include the 8.4% Sodium Bicarbonate Injection, USP, Midazolam in 0.8% Sodium Chloride Injection, and ELCYS (cysteine hydrochloride Injection), USP. This recall came to fruition following the detection of particulate matter identified as silicone during a routine inspection of retained samples.
The potential risk attached to the presence of this foreign substance in injectable products is grave. If administered, the product may lead to localized irritation or swelling. But, the more significant concern is whether these particulates enter the bloodstream. In such a scenario, they could migrate to crucial organs, leading to blockages in vital blood vessels in the heart, lungs, or brain. Such blockages can cause severe health events like strokes and, in the worst-case scenario, could even be fatal. Exela Pharma Sciences has yet to receive reports of adverse events associated with this recall as of the announcement date.
Given the risks associated with these recalled products, individuals who have been harmed need to understand their legal rights and potential recourse.
Understanding the legal landscape is crucial for individuals who may have been affected by the products involved in this recall. If someone has suffered an injury or adverse effect due to these products, they might be eligible to file a product liability lawsuit.
A product liability lawsuit allows victims to seek compensation for their incurred damages. The lawsuit begins with filing a claim against the responsible company, in this case, Exela Pharma Sciences, LLC. This process is intricate, involving multiple legal intricacies, gathering of evidence, testimonies, and expert analyses.
