LegalView.com Keeps Visitors Informed on Proposed Moisture Plus Class Action

(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 26, 2007 ) Denver, CO -- As part of its commitment to bring visitors the most up-to-date information about recalled contact lens solution Moisture Plus, LegalView.com is pleased to point its visitors toward its blog at blogs.legalview.com/moistureplus/. As of press time, the most recent posts to this frequently updated blog discus new Moisture Plus lawsuits, one of which seeks class action status for all victims of the possibly contaminated lens solution.Moisture Plus contact solution, also known as Advanced Medical Optics MoisturePlus Complete Multipurpose Solution, was recalled in late May of this year after scientists connected it to a rare but serious eye infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this year began receiving numerous complaints about outbreaks of Acanthamoeba keratitis, an infection caused by microscopic parasites that literally infest the human eye. If not controlled in time, the infection can permanently blind its victim by scarring or tearing the cornea, which is responsible for about 80 percent of a person’s vision. Such victims will need a cornea transplant if they are to see clearly again. The CDC study strongly correlated the infection with use of Moisture Plus, concluding that infected lens wearers are seven times more likely to have used Moisture Plus than healthy wearers. Contact lens wearers who want to stay abreast of the situation surrounding the recall, as it unfolds should make LegalView.com's Moisture Plus blog their first stop. There, they may read about the series of Moisture Plus lawsuits that have been filed and keep updated on new ones; follow the recently filed class action Moisture Plus lawsuit from California plaintiff Nicole Lazar; and stay updated on scientists' conclusions as they continue to study the issue.
