Welcome to PritzkerOlsen, P.A.

Fleet Recall:
Attorney for Fleet Phospho-Soda Recall

Fleet Recall Attorney and Lawsuit Information

Pritzker | Olsen, P.A., a nationally-recognized product liability law firm, is representing a number of clients who have suffered kidney failure (renal failure) after the use of certain Fleet products, including Fleet® Phospho-soda® and Fleet® Phospho-soda® EZ-Prep® Bowel Cleansing System. In some of these cases, the client used the Fleet product only once. In all of the cases, our clients did not have identifiable factors that would have put them at risk for developing acute kidney injury.

The specific kidney injury involved in these cases is acute phosphate nephropathy.  With acute phosphate nephropathy, calcium-phosphate crystals deposit in the renal tubules, which can result in permanent renal function impairment and the need for chronic dialysis.

Fleet Recall: Press Release Regarding
Fleet Phospho-Soda Recall

The FDA has determined that, in light of the risk of acute phosphate nephropathy, over-the-counter laxative oral sodium phosphate (OSP) products such as Fleet Phospho-Soda should not be used for bowel cleansing.1

In response to the FDA's determination, C.B. Fleet Company immediately announced a voluntary recall of their over-the-counter products Fleet® Phospho-soda® and Fleet® Phospho-soda® EZ-Prep® Bowel Cleansing System.

Below is an excerpt from the C.B. Fleet Company press release regarding the Fleet Phospho-Soda recall dated December 11, 2008:

The recall decision was made to address FDA's determination that oral sodium phosphate solutions used for bowel preparation prior to medical procedures such as colonoscopy should only be available by prescription, and consumers should not be using over-the-counter products for bowel cleansing. Since Fleet's Phospho-soda products are currently labeled and sold as over-the-counter products, Fleet decided voluntarily to remove them from the market as expeditiously as possible to address the FDA's decision that the products be available by prescription only.

As FDA has recommended that doctors not direct their patients to use these over-the-counter products for bowel cleansing, C.B. Fleet requests that consumers not purchase these products for bowel cleansing and contact their physician for alternatives if their physician has recommended
their use for this purpose.
