Raindrop near vision inlay recall
The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay recall has been initiated due to an increased risk of corneal haze that patients implanted with the devices may experience.
A Medical Device Alert was issued via the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) a few weeks ago. There’s a warning to not implant Raindrop Near Vision Inlays and to dispose of any unused stock of them.
Any patients who have already been implanted with the inlays are to be monitored, and any incidents and problems are to be reported. This recall follows the recent news coverage about the Oculentis recall, which is one of the compensation actions we’re representing people for.
Xarelto compensation settlements
Big news! Xarelto compensation settlements are taking place, with almost £600m in damages set to be paid out by Bayer AG and Johnson & Johnson.
The settlements are for around 25,000 lawsuits in the U.S., where Bayer and J&J have reportedly agreed to settle the litigation for $775m. The Group Action Lawyers continue to fight for justice for UK victims who are suffering side-effects of taking the drug, that’s also known as Rivaroxaban. You can read more about the UK action here.
While the companies maintain that the claims are without merit, and the settlement is made without an admission of liability, this is a huge result. The two companies are set to be sharing the burden of the cost as they jointly-developed the drug.
