Consumers Lawsuit Against Contact Lens Maker

Chinese Citizens Suffered Eye Infection Caused By Contact Lens Maker. Nearly 80 Chinese citizens who claim they suffered eye infections caused by a contact lens solution made by Bausch & Lomb plan to sue the company in the United States. They believe they contracted fungal keratitis, which can lead to blindness, after using ReNu MoistureLoc Multi […]

The Company Did Not Inform Chinese Consumers About the Problem

The Chinese lawyer, said he believes the company made a mistake by not informing Chinese consumers of the quality problem after it recalled products in Singapore in February.

Where exactly to sue the US company has not yet been decided, the lawyer said.

“To sue Bausch & Lomb in New York State, where its headquarters are located, is a possibility. But we are also considering suing the company in a state where higher compensation is likely,” the lawyer said. A date has yet to be fixed to file the lawsuit, he added.

In the United States, the number of confirmed cases of the rare fungal eye infection that can cause blindness has climbed to 122. Most of them are contact-lens wearers who reported using Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu MoistureLoc Multi Purpose Solution, US authorities said in May.

It is believed that some American consumers have brought lawsuits against Bausch & Lomb for compensation. No judgements have been reported yet.

Reports in April said that Bausch and Lomb found no eye infections in China linked to the cleaning solution. Company chief executive Ronald Zarrella said that in China the solution was made locally and not imported from the United States.

Mom died as a result of nursing home negligence.The general consensus was that she was old and near death anyway...so,not worth much monetarily!!!The people at Parker Waichman felt otherwise.They handled the case and treated my sister and myself as though we were their ONLY clients.We were most fortunate to meet the AMAZING Cybele Louis and her team....Stephanie San Filippo and Cindy Custodio.They were sensitive to the needs of our family but also tough with our awful opponents!!!! They accomplished more in a few short months than had been done in six years!!!! I also thank the reception crew who took my endless calls!!!!(Special thanks to Stephanie for putting up with my rants!!!!)

I would highly recommend Parker Waichman for legal services. As part of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, I had some concerns about the process for applying for an award. This firm and especially Tina Morace made it quite easy. Tina handled all the detail professionally, sensitively and with compassion. I cannot overstate the confidence I had in her and this firm. They made a difficult situation much more comfortable.
