Juroviesky and Ricci LLP Files a Class Action Against AMO CANADA COMPANY
May 30, 2007
The law offices of Juroviesky and Ricci LLP have filed a class action lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against AMO Canada Company (“Defendant”), a division of Advanced Medical Optics Inc [NYSE:EYE].
Defendant has issued a voluntary recall of its “Complete all in one Moisture Plus Lens Solution” (Solution) after the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, found that the Solution could be a factor in causing a serious eye infection that can lead to vision impairment or blindness, commonly known as Keratitis. The CDC further recommended that anyone that used the Solution discard all contact lenses, and lens cases that had come into contact with the Solution.
Specifically, the suit claims damages for losses suffered by consumers of the Solution after consumers discarded their Solution, contact lenses and lens cases that had come into contact with the Solution, in compliance with the recommendation of the CDC.
Juroviesky and Ricci LLP are seeking to pursue remedies against the Defendant for common law Tort, Negligence, and Breach of Warranty.
