When multi-million dollar conglomerates send their products out to the trusting public, we expect some level of reasonable testing and safeguarding of the public's health. So, is that really too much to expect? Is the public's reasonable safety from profit motivated products really that insignificant? Is Corporate America really determining what the public should and should not be protected...
The sky is falling; aliens are orbiting the earth; and Blackberry devices can apparently give you withdrawal sickness. Rutgers just completed a study that concludes the revolutionary devices we all use while trying to walk down the hall or drive a car can cause email and internet addiction.Apparently, these very handy devices are causing users to become so hooked that many can not go for more...
In an orchestrated, well-choreographed and comprehensive parade of their own corporate opinions in Contact Lens Spectrum's September 2006 edition, Bausch & Lomb appears to have settled upon some of the soundbites we will hear as they defend their corporate arrogance in failing to recall MoistureLok, and the product itself which has blinded some and severely injured others. Bausch never misses...
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...
Bausch ReNu with MoistureLoc is a culprit in Fusarium infections. Poor hygiene is not the reason for the infections, which have led to vision loss and lawsuits.An article appearing in the Bradenton Florida local newspaper gives voice to the possibility that Bausch & Lomb might defend themselves against an onslaught of litigation over its ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens cleaning solution, by...
The Tobacco Industry began marketing "light" cigarettes because? Anybody, anybody? It seems likely that it involved, at least a little, the need to hedge against the increasing sounds being made by the anti-smoking faction; don't you think? Could a fear of shrinking profits have been involved? Could they have had a desire to create the idea that smoking "light cigarettes" was somehow healthier?...
Smokers came to know that smoking was not good for them, but Big Tobacco had an answer for them: "light cigarettes". Lower in tar; lower in nicotine; keep on puffin'!!That fiction, sold to the public for over 20 years, may actually be exposed by the light of day. Plaintiffs have asked District Couirt Judge Jack Weinstein to certify a class action lawsuit in which the plaintiffs allege that Big...

Having been hammered in Federal Court and again by the Massachusetts Department of Health study finding ever increasing nicotine levels in Marlboro cigarettes Philip Morris denies the validity of the Massachusetts study.At the same time, when asked pointedly whether Philip Morris adds nicotine to its cigarettes, its spokesman withheld...
Reuters reported that notable cardiologist, Dr. Stephen Nissen, believes that cardiac stents have not been tested long enough before wide spread use in patients. Dr. Nissen, head of cardiovascular medicine at Cleveland Clinic, believes that the newer generation of stents may lead to increased late-stent thrombosis:"No one has done the right kind of long-term study. We need a prospective,...
A thirteen year old Texas teen has sued Bausch and Lomb after suffering a fungal infection. The teen had used ReNu with MoistureLoc. As many others have found, doctors were not able to quickly diagnose the infection because fungal eye infections are so rare.
