Sanofi Genzyme Recalls Synvisc-One Arthritis Injections

Synvisc one arthritis injection

BRIDGEWATER, NJ – According to a press release published by Sanofi, US, a manufacturer of medical devices, Sanofi Genzyme, a subsidiary, voluntarily recalled one large lot of Synvisc-One arthritis injections for suspected microbial contamination.

Synvisc-One, manufactured by Sanofi Genzyme, is an injection intended for the treatment of osteoarthritis.  On December 11, 2017, Sanofi Genzyme issued a voluntary recall, in coordination with the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) of one lot of Synvisc-One arthritis injections. The specific lot number at issue is 7RSL021, which was distributed and sold to patients in the United States between October 25, 2017, and November 7, 2017.

According to Sanofi’s press release, the affected lot of the Synvisc-One injections may have had microbial contamination.  If true, such contamination can place patients at risk of contracting dangerous infections that may be difficult to treat.  Sanofi is requesting that all injections which are part of Lot 7RSL021 be returned to Sanofi Genzyme for further evaluation.

For patients who have already used the potentially contaminated Synvisc-One injections, they may be concerned that they are at risk of getting an infection. Such patients should consider working with their doctors to determine if any testing can rule out an infection. Because all patients are different, infections can affect them in various ways.  For some patients, the infection may be mild, but for others, the infection could be severe and life-threatening.

While Sanofi Genzyme has taken the proper steps to recall the affected lot of Synvisc-One, for patients who have sustained infections which required treatment after using the arthritis injections, they may wish to pursue legal action against Sanofi Genzyme to recover compensation for damages resulting from the infection.

Christina Morace my Paralegal at Parker Waichman’s Long Island office successfully obtained not one but two World Trade Center Victim Compensation awards for myself. She was knowledgeable, always there for me and fought for the compensation I deserved for working at Ground Zero and then unfortunately getting two 911 related ailments. I will highly recommend Christina to anyone who has to go through the Victim’s Compensation process.

Parker Waichman LLP- Paralegal, Jessie Salcedo, she is professional and has been very helpful. I am a new mom and a newlywed so my life is very chaotic at times. Sometimes it's hard todo anything else but my basic day to day stuff. They have made this process very easy for me. All I've really had todo is provide some information and they have handled everything else. I greatly appreciate their services and would refer them to anyone. Also, they remembered my birthday this past September. They sent me a card. Most of my friends don't remember my birthday. To me, that was going out of their way just to brighten my day and I really appreciated it.
