AMO Solution Class Action
On June 1, 2007, Rochon Genova LLP launched a class action against the manufacturers of AMO® Complete® All-In-One Moisture Plus™ contact lens solution. The Solution was recalled in Canada and the United States after it had been linked by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control ("CDC") to a rare but serious infection called Acanthamoeba Keratitis.
Acanthamoeba Keratitis is normally a rare infection of the cornea caused by a waterborne organism and is characterized by extreme pain, light sensitivity and eye redness. In serious cases the infection can ultimately lead to blindness and may require cornea transplant surgery. Our class action lawsuit alleges that the Defendants knew or ought to have known that the Solution caused the Acanthamoeba Keratitis, but failed to recall the Solution in a timely manner. It is further alleged that the Defendants only recalled the product because of the results of an investigation done by the CDC.
