Fleet Phospho-Soda Kidney Injuries

Over the past several years, colonoscopies have been heavily publicized as a medical necessity for every American over the age of 55 and others at risk for colorectal cancer. However, recent studies and warnings issued by the Federal Drug Administration show that a popular oral preparation marketed by C.B. Fleet Company and other national pharmaceutical firms has lead to kidney failure in many consumers.

The ingestion of the sodium phosphate has caused kidney failure requiring dialysis and kidney transplant in many users of the products. Consumers of oral sodium phosphates, phospho-sodas and enemas taken during colonoscopy preparation who have experienced serious kidney problems or other adverse health effects should contact an attorney immediately.

Fleet sodium phosphates or phospho-sodas were taken off the market in late 2008 after users of the product across the country suffered acute renal failure. The oral drink, a laxative, was often recommended or prescribed by doctors to patients for ingestion as preparation for a colonoscopy. The potentially life-saving diagnostic procedure, which screens for cancer of the colon, requires a completely empty bowel. The Fleet phospho-sodas, or Fleet enemas as they are commonly known, purge the bowels to enable the colonoscopy to take place. After several years of clinical studies, the FDA issued its strongest warning, the black box, to be placed on all packages of oral sodium phosphates, followed by Fleet removing its product from the market, due to the link between the oral sodium phosphates and kidney failure.
