| Dialysis or Kidney Transplant After Colonoscopy |
| Posted By DeCarli Law |
 |
If you began having serious kidney problems just weeks after a colonoscopy, the cause may have been the Fleet Phospho-Soda or Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System you used before your colonoscopy.
Fleet Phospho-Soda and Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System were over-the-counter products recommended to cleanse the bowels before a colonoscopy. They are a type of oral sodium phosphate or “OSP.” The FDA issued a safety alert on December 11, 2008, warning that OSPs can cause kidney failure (renal failure), and the Fleet products were recalled from the market. Side effects include dialysis and the need for a kidney transplant.
If you or a loved one used one of these products before a colonoscopy, and are now on dialysis or were forced to have a kidney transplant, you may have a strong legal claim. Contact the 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 were injured by Fleet Phospho-Soda or Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System.
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.

| Insurance Coverage for Fleet Phospho-Soda Injuries |
| Posted By DeCarli Law |

A recent settlement likely means more money to pay claims made by people whose kidneys failed after using Fleet Phospho-Soda and Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System.
Hundreds of people had sued C.B. Fleet Inc., the manufacturer of Fleet Phospho-Soda and Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System, after use of these products caused their kidneys to fail. C.B. Fleet submitted the claims to its insurance carriers, but an excess carrier, Axis Surplus Insurance Co., refused to pay the claims. C.B. Fleet has a $10 million excess insurance policy from Axis.
C.B. Fleet and Axis were litigating their coverage dispute in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. Following a settlement, the federal court dismissed the lawsuit on Tuesday, November 10, 2009.
With the insurance coverage dispute resolved, C.B. Fleet now likely has more financial resources to compensate people injured by its products. Fleet Phospho-Soda and Fleet Phospho soda EZ Prep Bowel Cleansing System were over-the counter oral sodium phosphate (OSP) products that people used before undergoing a colonoscopy. Both products were recalled from the market when it was revealed they caused kidney failure. Other OSP products used before a colonoscopy are Visicol and OsmoPrep, available only by prescription.
If you or a loved one suffered kidney failure (renal failure) within 30 days after using either of these Fleet products, you may have a legal claim for this injury. Importantly, a Fleet lawsuit or OSP lawsuit should be filed sooner rather than later, since C.B. Fleet may have limited financial resources to pay for people’s injuries. Contact a Fleet Phospho attorney or OSP lawyer at DeCarli Law for a free telephone consultation.
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.
