• Bausch and Lomb ReNu users not to blame CDC says

  Cal Warriner | August 28, 2006 8:16 AM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  A new article goes into more depth regarding the CDC's recent reporting of its Fusarium Keratitis outbreak investigation. After studying the outbreak in more detail the CDC's latest statement reports at least two important findings. First, it seems this outbreak is limited to Bausch's ReNu with MoistureLoc brand which it has recalled. Second, and more importantly, the CDC has thrown cold water...

• Bausch Blames Contact Lens Wearers for Their Infections!

  In an effort to diffuse their responsibility, Bausch & Lomb has mounted a campaign to place the blame on contact lens wearers for developing eye infections; some of which have led to the need for corneal transplants. A new studypublished in JAMA concludes, however, that it was ReNu with MoistureLoc that caused these devastating eye infections: "The study, "Multistate Outbreak of Fusarium...

• Bausch and Lomb ignores continuing Fusarium eye infection risk

  Cal Warriner | August 25, 2006 6:00 PM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  Bausch and Lomb still has the spin doctors hard at work. Its recent announcement that it took appropriate measures to protect ReNu with MoistureLoc users is hogwash. To this date, Bausch still has done virtually nothing to get ReNu out of medicine cabinets all over the world. Sure they stopped selling the defective product but what about the millions of bottles that had already been sold?I...

• Big Tobacco has been lying to us?

  John Hopkins | August 24, 2006 10:58 AM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  The Christian Science Monitor reports that big tobacco has been lying to the American public for over 50 years and District Court Judge Gladys Kessler stated that: "As the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates, (tobacco's) fraudulent conduct has permeated all aspects of their operations -- from how they design, manufacture, and market their products to how they communicate with the public about...

• Iraq Corporate Fraud Lawsuits Take Hit

  Staff Writer | August 24, 2006 10:57 AM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  When a U.S. judge set aside a $10 million verdict against Custer Battles last week, it brought into question the ability of the government and whistleblowers to penalize companies that profited illegally from the war in Iraq. Custer Battles was found to have grossly inflated invoices to the Coalition Provisional Authority, but Judge T.S. Ellis, III ruled that invoices to the CPA were not proven...

• Corneal Transplants Linked to Recalled ReNu MoistureLoc

  Cal Warriner | August 23, 2006 4:46 PM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  A new study reveals that nearly a third of all fusarium infections caused by Bausch and Lomb's recalled contact lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc result in the need for corneal transplants. This study rebuts propaganda widely disseminated by Bausch and Lomb that these infections are not that frequent or damaging. The question is with all the mounting evidence, when will Bausch and Lomb come...

• Has Claude Anger’s May 2008 Literature Review Strengthened AMO’s Defense?

  In the May edition of Eye & Contact Lens 34(5): 247-253, 2008 entitled, “Acanthamoeba: A Review of Its Potential to Cause Keratitis, Current Lens Care Solution Disinfection Standards and...

• Who is Marie Evans?

  Armand Rossetti | February 10, 2007 2:32 AM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  In 1957, if you asked anyone at the top at Lorillard Tobacco in North Carolina, who Marie Evans was, you probably would have gotten a response, "I don't know; Never heard of her." But she was a real nine-year-old little black girl, innocently playing with other kids, hundreds of miles away, at the Orchard Park housing complex in Roxbury, Massachusetts, a poor community in Boston. One Lorillard...

• Bausch Decides an Eye for an Eye

  John Hopkins | November 10, 2006 9:56 AM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  I could not have said it better than an opinion editorial in the Minnesota Daily did on November 8, 2006. The editor discusses Bausch's less than stellar handling of recall for their ReNu with MoistureLoc no rub contact lens solution. The editorial summarizes the timeline of events and ends with:Would they have pulled the product at all if our country hadn't uncovered the problem? The thought is...

• Sign Of The Times As Bausch & Lomb Ignores SEC Rules

  Kevin Walsh | September 22, 2006 9:40 AM | 0 CommentsWest Palm Beach, FL

  Bausch & Lomb seems to be taking a lacksadaisical attitude toward everything these days. In an article today in the Rochester Business Journal, Bausch is seen explaining that documents due within 6 months of the end of last fiscal year will again be delayed as financial discrepancies overseas are being investigated internally.Bausch adopted a similar laissez faire attitude recently when their...
