In December of 2008, the FDA issued an advisory alert regarding C.B. Fleet, the manufacturer of Phospho-Soda.  Phospho-Soda was a product used as a bowel purgative, often recommended to patients who were going to undergo a colonoscopy.  There have been many reports of individuals suffering permanent damage to their kidneys after using this product just one time.  Here’s the text of a Phospho-Soda lawsuit that was filed in Colorado in April of 2009.

PARTIES PLAINTIFF

1. Plaintiff Scott Lundy is a 58 year old male who, at all times relevant to the events described herein, was a resident of El Paso County, Colorado residing 12270 Jones Park Ct., Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921.

2. Plaintiff Mitzi Lundy is Scott Lundy's wife who, at all times relevant to the events described herein, has been married to and resided with Scott Lundy in El Paso County at 12270 Jones Park Ct., Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921.

PARTIES DEFENDANT

3. Defendant C.B. Fleet Company, Incorporated is a closely-held corporation that, upon information and belief, is incorporated in the State of Virginia, with its corporate headquarters located in Lynchburg, Virginia at 4615 Murray Place, PO Box 11349, Lynchburg, Virginia 24506.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

4. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1332 (diversity jurisdiction). The amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.00 exclusive of interest and costs. There is complete diversity of citizenship between Plaintiffs and the Defendant. The Plaintiffs are residents of El Paso County at 12270 Jones Park Ct., Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921 and the Defendant is a Virginia corporation with its principal place of business in the State of Virginia.

5. Venue in this Court is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391 in that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims asserted herein occurred in this District, and Defendant is subject to personal jurisdiction in this District.

6. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant was the manufacturer, marketer, distributor and/or seller of Fleet Phospho-Soda oral saline laxative and is identified as follows:

a. Defendant C.B. Fleet Company, Inc., is a closely-held corporation that, upon information and belief, is incorporated in the State of Virginia, with its corporate headquarters located in Lynchburg, Virginia at 4615 Murray Place, PO Box 11349, Lynchburg, Virginia 24506.

7. At all times relevant to the Plaintiffs' Complaint, Defendant manufactured, promoted, distributed and sold for profit an Oral Saline Laxative product known as Phospho-soda(R). Defendant promoted, distributed, and sold Phospho-soda(R) as a “laxative, for the relief of occasional constipation” and “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparation for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination.”

8. At all times relevant hereto, the Defendant actually knew of the defective nature of its product as herein set forth, yet continued to design, manufacture, market, distribute and sell their product so as to maximize sales and profits at the expense of the general public's health and safety in conscious disregard for the foreseeable harm caused by this product. Defendant's conduct exhibits such an entire want of care as to establish that its actions were a result of fraud, ill will, recklessness, grow negligence or willful and intentional disregard to the Plaintiffs' individual rights, and hence punitive damages are appropriate.

GENERAL ALLEGATIONS RELEVANT TO ONE OR MORE CLAIMS

9. At all times relevant to the Plaintiffs' Complaint, C.B. Fleet Holding Company, Incorporated and/or C.B. Fleet Company, Incorporated (collectively “Fleet”) manufactured, promoted, distributed, and sold for profit a Sodium Phosphate Oral Solution product known as Phospho-soda(R) through interstate commerce, including in El Paso County, Colorado. Fleet so manufactured, promoted, distributed, and sold Phospho-soda(R) as a “laxative, for the relief of occasional constipation” and “purgative”, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination.”

10. On or about April 18, 2007, at the direction of his Gastroenterologist, Sue M. Mitchell, M.D. of the Pikes Peak Endoscopy and Surgery Center, 1699 Medical Center Point, Colorado Springs, Colorado, Plaintiff purchased two 1.5 oz (45 ml) packages of Phospho-soda(R) (the “Product”) at Walgreens pharmacy at 350 N. Union Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado in preparation for a colonoscopy to be performed on April 19, 2007.

11. Plaintiff used the Phospho-soda(R) as directed by Dr. Mitchell – ingesting 1.5 oz. of Fleet Phospho-soda(R) between the hours of 4 PM and 6 PM on April 18, 2007 by placing 1 tablespoon of Phospho-soda(R) in each of three 10 oz. glasses of clear liquid and drinking one 10 oz. glass every 30 minutes over two hours and on the day of his colonoscopy, April 19, 2009, by taking a second 1.5 oz. of Phospho-soda(R) by placing 1 tablespoon of the Phospho-soda(R) in each of three 10 oz. glasses of clear liquids.

12. Plaintiff followed Dr. Mitchell's further specific direction to take the doses of Phospho-soda(R) twelve hours apart and that he continue to drink one 10 oz. glass of clear liquid each hour up until two hours before his colonoscopy.

13. The Phospho-soda(R) packaging contained no warnings regarding kidney damage, kidney or renal failure, or risk to persons in Plaintiffs age group. Plaintiff was not contraindicated for the use of Phospho-soda(R) on April 18, 2007 and April 19, 2009, as directed by his physician and as intended by the Defendant, for his bowel preparation.

14. Plaintiff underwent a colonoscopy on April 19, 2007. Following his colonoscopy, Plaintiff began to experience lethargy, loss of appetite, and significant physical weakness. His symptoms persisted following the colonoscopy and a visit with his family physician following his colonoscopy showed that he was suffering from Acute Renal Failure.

15. Plaintiff was referred to a nephrologist, who rendered a diagnosis of Acute Renal Failure, Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV/V and anemia of kidney failure.

16. Plaintiff's creatinine level continues to be elevated well outside the normal range. He suffers Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV/V and anemia as a result of his use of his ingestion of Fleet(R) Phospho-soda(R) in preparation for his April 19, 2007 colonoscopy.

17. Prior to his use of Phospho-soda(R), Plaintiff's renal function was normal – as measured on February 15, 2007, it was 1.1, well within the range of normal (0.5-1.5).

18. At no time prior to his April 19, 2007 colonoscopy had any of Plaintiff's health care providers informed him that he suffered from kidney disease.

19. As a direct consequence of his use of Phospho-soda(R), Plaintiff sustained permanent injury and impairment, lives in a constant state of anxiety and uncertainty, and is unsure whether he will require renal replacement therapy.

20. That is, Plaintiff has suffered personal injuries and harm, pain and suffering, economic loss and damages, has been required to pay for necessary health care, attention and services along with incidental and related expenses or forego necessary health care, attention and services, requires monitoring of the injuries and harm he has suffered, will be required to pay for additional necessary health care, attention, and services along with additional incidental and related expenses to monitor his condition, or forgo such necessary health care, attention and services.

21. Fleet caused Plaintiff's injuries, damages and or losses by failing, in its design, formulation, manufacture, testing, packaging, labeling, advertising, marketing, promotion, supply, sale and/or distribution of and warnings about Phospho-soda(R), to do the following:

a. Accompany the product with adequate, complete and appropriate warnings regarding all the possible adverse side effects about which Fleet knew or should have known, including renal injury, death and risks related to age, associated with the use of Phospho-soda(R) as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination”;

b. Accompany the product with information accurately reflecting the nature, extent, symptoms, scope, or severity of such side effects;

c. Accompany the product with information accurately reflecting that alternative bowel cleansing products were safer and more effective, to include the failure to provide the same instructions it provides to foreign purchasers/consumers of its Phospho-soda(R) product;

d. Provide intended consumers and health care professionals with adequate, complete and proper use instructions that accurately and fully identified the appropriate dosing interval and hydration required to take Phospho-soda(R) safely, and about which Fleet knew or should have known;

e. Perform responsible, ethical, adequate and reliable pre-clinical, clinical and postmarketing testing of the safety of using Phospho-soda(R) as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination” in that responsible, ethical, adequate and reliable testing would have shown that the use of Phospho-soda(R) for this purpose presented the risk of serious injury to the intended consumers of the Product;

f. Adequately report on the results of testing regarding the safety of Phospho-soda(R) as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination” that had been or were in the process of being performed;

g. Accurately communicate information on its Phospho-soda(R) product to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by recklessly, falsely and deceptively representing or knowingly omitting, suppressing and/or concealing material facts known to Fleet regarding the safety and efficacy of Phospho-soda(R) such that, had the FDA or its advisory committee members known of such facts, Phospho-soda(R) would never have been approved for sale to consumers as an over-the-counter “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination” and no physician would have been able to direct his or her patients, such as Plaintiff, to purchase and use the over-the-counter product Phospho-soda(R) for this purpose;

h. Correct misrepresentations and omissions regarding the safety and efficacy of Phospho-soda(R) despite its knowledge of the growing acceptance of and reliance of consumers and health care professionals on its misinformation, and did so because the prospect of profits on Phospho-soda(R) outweighed the health and safety of consumers, including Plaintiff;

i. Comply with its post-manufacturing duty to warn, which arose when Fleet knew, or with reasonable care should have known, that consumers, such as Plaintiff, were being directed to use Phospho-soda(R) without being provided the complete information that was known to Fleet or receiving adequate warnings of the true risks of side effects; and

Discontinue the marketing of Phospho-soda(R) to health care professionals and consumers, including Plaintiff, as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination,” despite the fact that it knew or should have known that Phospho-soda(R) caused unreasonable, dangerous side effects and that safer and more effective alternative preparation methods and treatments were available.

20. Despite the foregoing litany of failures, Fleet continued to aggressively promote and sell the product, primarily as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination” and, in particular, as the ‘low volume’ alternative to products made by other manufacturers in an attempt to create and/or maintain its share of the purgative bowel cleansing product market.

21. Fleet knew or should have known that users of Phospho-soda(R) as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination” would suffer foreseeable injuries as a result of these failures.

22. Phospho-soda(R) as manufactured, sold and/or supplied by Fleet was defective and unreasonably dangerous because, after Fleet knew or should have known of the risk of injury and death from Phospho-soda(R), Fleet failed to provide adequate warnings about and instructions on the use of the product and failed to adequately test the safety of the product and report on the results of tests regarding product safety that had been or were in the process of being performed.

23. The Phospho-soda(R) manufactured, sold and/or supplied by Fleet was defective and unreasonably dangerous because it was designed and formulated such that the foreseeable risks exceeded the benefits associated with the product's use as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination”

24. The Phospho-soda(R) manufactured, sold and/or supplied by Fleet was defective and unreasonably dangerous because it was designed and formulated such that it was more dangerous and less effective than available alternatives including, but not limited to, the products NuLytely(R) and GoLytely(R), both of which are manufactured and distributed by Braintree Laboratories, Inc., and available only by prescription.

25. The Phospho-soda(R) manufactured, sold and/or supplied by Fleet was defective and unreasonably dangerous because it was designed and formulated such that it was more dangerous than Fleet's own alternative product, known as the Accu Prep(R) kit, which contains Fleet's Sodium Phosphate Oral Solution – identical both in volume and character – to that in Fleet's Phospho-soda(R) product, except that such solution is packaged in pre-measured doses with use instructions and warnings reflective of Fleet's knowledge about the dangers of its Phospho-soda(R) product.

26. The Phospho-soda(R) manufactured, sold and supplied by Fleet was defective at the time it was sold and/or left Fleet's control. Further, the Phospho-soda(R) was expected to reach the user of consumer without substantial change in the condition in which it was so manufactured, sold and/or supplied.

27. The Phospho-soda(R) purchased by Plaintiff reached his without substantial change in the condition in which it was manufactured, sold and/or supplied by Fleet.

28. At the time of Plaintiff's purchase of Phospho-soda(R) sold by Fleet, Fleet expressly warranted that Phospho-soda(R) was safe and well tolerated by patients studied and therefore was safe for consumers who ingested Phospho-soda(R), including Plaintiff.

29. At the time of Plaintiff's purchase of Phospho-soda(R) sold by Fleet, Fleet impliedly warranted that Phospho-soda(R) was of merchantable quality.

30. At the time of Plaintiff's purchase of Phospho-soda(R) sold by Fleet, Fleet impliedly warranted that Phospho-soda(R) was fit for the particular purpose of a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination.”

31. The information disclosed to the public by Fleet and the warranties it made were knowingly or recklessly false and made with the intent of creating a false impression about Phospho-soda(R) as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination,” and inducing the consuming public, including Plaintiff, into buying and using Phospho-soda(R) for such purpose, a course of action that Plaintiff would not have taken had the actual facts been known.

32. Fleet has voluntarily accepted and retained profits from the purchase of its Phospho-soda(R) product as a “purgative, for use as a part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing for surgery, x-ray or endoscopic examination,” from the public, including Plaintiff, with full knowledge and awareness that, as a result of its wrongdoing, Plaintiff and other consumers did not receive Phospho-soda(R) of the quality, nature fitness, or value that had been represented by Fleet or that they could reasonably expect.

33. Plaintiff did not receive a safe and effective product for which she paid, but instead suffered personal injury and damage as a result of the use of Phospho-soda.
