In March, there were only 68 reported deaths\u2014now there are 81 cases, and the CDC expects these numbers to rise, notwithstanding the recall of the product earlier this year. Four people have died, according to these reports. Fourteen people were blinded and four required surgical removal of their eyeballs. Eye infections can turn fatal once the bacteria that caused the infection enters the bloodstream. Catastrophic injuries involving one\u2019s eyes can dramatically change not only vision, but also the contours of a life.

Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult Moll Law Group About Your Contaminated Eyedrop Case<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Patients who reported problems had often used many different brands of eyedrops, which made it more challenging to narrow down the contaminated brand. The most commonly used brand, however, was EzriCare Artificial Tears. The open bottles of these eyedrops contained the same bacteria that patients\u2019 samples contained. This bacteria is a particular strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that is difficult and sometimes impossible to control with ordinary antibiotics. Prior to this last year, this specific strain of the bacteria hadn\u2019t been reported in the country, but it\u2019s now found in 18 states.<\/p>\n<p>Global Pharma Healthcare in India manufactures the EzriCare products, and they are sold online. Both the CDC and FDA have asked consumers to stop using these products, along with other eye products made by the manufacturer, Delsam Pharma\u2019s Artificial Tears and Delsam Pharma\u2019s Artificial Eye Ointment.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/another-death-linked-to-recalled-eyedrops-has-been-reported\/#more-3026\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported\u00a0another death related to contaminated eyedrops that have been recalled.
