Solutions suit goes to appeal

Users of Bausch & Lomb's ReNu with MoistureLoc who filed lawsuits after developing eye infections other than Fusarium keratitis will contest a New York State court's decision to find against them.

Andres Alonso, attorney for Parker Waichman Alonso which is representing those who claim to have been injured by the recalled solution, said an appeal was scheduled for February, according to reports on website NewsInferno.com.

The non-fusarium lawsuits assert that if the disinfectant in ReNu could not kill fusarium, it could not kill other organisms. However, a New York State court judge ruled that the plaintiffs' proof of general causation linking MoistureLoc to their conditions could not be used as admissible evidence.
