The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced earlier this week that it had partnered with Mobius Therapeutics, LLC, in issuing a voluntary market recall of the company’s Mitosol® (mitomycin for solution), 0.2 mg/vial, kit for ophthalmic use. According to a press release from the agency, the recall was issued due to a possible contamination of two lots of the medication.
Doctors and surgeons in hospitals and clinics where a certain type of glaucoma surgery is performed use the product. Experts say the recall is being issued due to lots M098260 and M086920 being found to contain a strain of yeast that could cause a serious Drug Injury. Experts say use of a contaminated dose could result in severe eye problems and infections that could lead to potential blindness. Units of the contaminated medication were shipped to more than 20 states across the nation.
Mobius has both conducted an investigation to get to the root of the contamination and has also contacted any company that purchased part of the contaminated lots of drugs. Anyone still in possession of affected medications has been instructed to halt use of the drugs immediately and to contact the manufacturer about receiving replacements and disposing of the contaminated drugs.
The Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy recognize the dangers of medical professionals using contaminated medications on patients and suggest looking into your legal rights if a drug prescribed and administered to you by a doctor has harmed you.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
