Bausch + Lomb Syringe Recall Legal Information Center
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared Bausch + Lomb’s decision to recall dozens of lots of its glass syringes a Class I recall, the most serious kind.
Which Bausch + Lomb Syringes Does the Recall Cover?
The recall affects the Bausch + Lomb 27G sterile cannula. “Cannula” is the medical term for a small, often disposable, tube inserted into the body to draw fluid or inject medicine. The recalled cannula is provided with Amvisc and Amvisc Plus Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Device (OVD), which is used as a surgical aid to deliver a gel-like substance to the front or back of the eye during operations, such as cataract procedures.
Bausch + Lomb Syringes Might Cause Life-Threatening Side Effects
On November 15, 2012, Bausch + Lomb notified customers that some lots of the disposable 27G could leak viscoelastic material or detach during an injection procedure. According to the FDA, some syringe detachments caused serious injuries to patients. Consequently the FDA declared the Bausch + Lomb recall a Class I event because there was a reasonable possibility that the syringes could cause serious injury or death.
