GranuFlo Lawsuits Progress, With Recent Submission of Proposed Order in Federal Litigation Where Bernstein Liebhard LLP Represents Numerous Clients
New York, New York (PRWEB) March 16, 2015 -- GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuits (http://www.granuflolawsuit2014.com/) filed on behalf of individuals who allegedly suffered serious cardiovascular complications due to treatment with one of the two dialysis concentrates continue to move forward in the federal multidistrict litigation underway in U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, where Bernstein Liebhard LLP is currently representing numerous clients. Court records indicate that on March 11, 2015, the parties jointly submitted a Proposed Order intended to address certain issues raised by recent motions to dismiss. (In re Fresenius GranuFlo/Naturalyte Dialysate Litigation, MDL No. 2428)
“Our Firm is representing numerous clients who have GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuits pending in the federal multidistrict litigation, and we are pleased to see this proceeding moving forward. This Proposed Order sets forth protocols that, if adopted by the Court, would allow certain cases to be dismissed without prejudice within a specified period of time so that the affected plaintiffs may select a new “home forum” designation,” says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to evaluate claims on behalf of individuals who were allegedly harmed by GranuFlo or NaturaLyte.
GranuFlo Recall
GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are acid concentrates manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care that are used to remove toxins from the blood of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatments. According to court documents, all of the claims pending in the federal multidistrict litigation were filed in the wake of the 2012 GranuFlo recall, which was announced by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) after GranuFlo and NaturaLyte were linked to heart attacks, strokes and other serious cardiovascular events that occurred among patients administered one of the two concentrates during dialysis treatments. The recall was designated Class I by the FDA, which signifies that a medical product poses a risk of serious injury or death.
Court records indicate that more than 2,600 product liability lawsuits are now pending in District of Massachusetts, all of which accuse Fresenius Medical Care of failing to provide adequate warnings regarding the serious cardiovascular risks associated with GranuFlo and NaturaLyte. Plaintiffs further allege that Fresenius concealed its knowledge of these issues, and instead continued to aggressively market the dialysis products in order to protect profits derived from their sale.
Dialysis patients who allegedly suffered a serious cardiovascular event within 72 hours of the administration of GranuFlo or NaturaLyte may be entitled to pursue a case against Fresenius Medical Care.
