The Food and Drug Administration has asked Triad Group to stop producing and distributing its products, including alcohol prep wipes, povidone iodine prep wipes and lubricating jelly which are all suspected of bacterial contamination and have recently been recalled.
The alcohol wipes, recalled in January for potential contamination with the bacteria Bacillus cereus, have been blamed for the death of a 2-year-old boy in Houston as well as several serious infections.
Becillus cereus is an organism which can cause life-threatening skin infections. The infections are especially dangerous in at risk populations, including immune suppressed and surgical patients. In some case, the infections can lead to death.
Messa & Associates has handled dozens of cases involving drugs and medical devices. Our have successfully pursued litigation and obtained verdicts and settlements for victims of suffering from these injuries. If you or a loved one has contracted a skin infection or other injury as a result of a Triad Group product, please contact us at 1-877-MessaLaw.
