Age Intervention Eyelash, Bimatoprost and Vision Problelms

If you have been using Age Intervention Eyelash and now have vision problems, you may have a claim against Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc., the the seller and distributor of Age Intervention Eyelash.

Today, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Marshals seized 12,682 applicator tubes of Age Intervention Eyelash for the following reasons:
  • FDA considers the seized Age Intervention Eyelash to be an adulterated cosmetic. The product contains bimatoprost, an active ingredient in an FDA-approved drug to treat elevated intraocular pressure (elevated pressure inside the eye). For patients using the prescription drug, using the Age Intervention Eyelash in addition to the drug may increase the risk of optic nerve damage because the extra dose of bimatoprost may decrease the prescription drug's effectiveness. Damage to the optic nerve may lead to decreased vision and possibly blindness. In addition, use of Age Intervention Eyelash may cause other adverse effects in certain people due to the bimatoprost, including macular edema (swelling of the retina) and uveitis (inflammation in the eye), which may lead to decreased vision.
  • FDA considers Age Intervention Eyelash to be an unapproved and misbranded drug because Jan Marini Skin Research has promoted the product to increase eyelash growth. Before a new drug product may be legally marketed, it must be shown to be safe and effective, and approved by FDA.
If you have been using Age Intervention Eyelash and now have vision problems, you need to consult your health care provider regarding the effect bimatoprost may have had on your vision. If you are diagnosed with macular edema, uveitis or any damage to the optic nerve, contact one of out product liability lawyers as soon as possible regarding a possible lawsuit against Jan Marini Skin Research and any other parties that may be responsible for your injuries.
