  The Cleveland Plain Dealer Reports Fleet Settlement Coming Soon

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has reported that C.B. Fleet Co. is "close to reaching a final settlement" with people across the country who say their kidneys were harmed by Fleet's over-the-counter laxatives.  See Diana Suchetka, "Settlement Coming in Suit Concerning Oral Laxatives," The Plain Dealer, May 19, 2010.  C.B. Fleet Co. was the manufacturer of Fleet Phospho-Soda and Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing system.

The article attributed the following statements to C.B. Fleet:  "While we are encouraged by the progress made to date on the global settlement, there are several matters remaining to be resolved."  "Fleet hopes that a conclusion can be reached soon that serves as a positive outcome for all concerned."

Fleet Phospho-Soda and Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System were over-the-counter products used for bowel cleansing to prepare for a colonoscopy.  These products were recalled from the market after the FDA issued a safety alert on December 11, 2008, warning that they can cause kidney failure (renal failure).  Side effects include dialysis and the need for a kidney transplant.

You may have a strong legal claim if you or a loved one used one of these products before a colonoscopy, suffered kidney damage or a kidney injury shortly after the colonoscopy, including later requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant.  Contact the Fleet injury attorneys at DeCarli Law for a free, no obligation consultation.  As is often the case with legal claims, a short deadline may apply to your claim, so please contact us as soon as possible if you believe you suffered a Fleet kidney injury or Fleet kidney damage.

UPDATE: As of August 1, 2010, DeCarli Law is no longer accepting new cases for people injured by Fleet Phospho-Soda or Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System.
