Bryant Law Center Takes on Pharmaceutical Company After Eye Drop Injuries
PADUCAH — Incidents of serious eye infections, permanent injury, blindness, and in at least one case — death — have been linked to the now recalled EzriCare and Delsam Pharma Artificial Tears.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the drops contained Pseudomonas Aeruginosa — a bacteria that’s becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.
The CDC says people most at-risk for infection from this bacteria are patients in hospitals — those on breathing machines, with devices such as catheters, or with wounds from surgery or burns.
