EzriCare Lawsuit Settlement Amounts & Payouts [2024 Guide]

What Is the Average EzriCare Lawsuit Settlement Amount?

It’s important to recognize that the EzriCare Lawsuit is not currently consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) and we are quite some time away from potential settlement discussions.

The contents below are merely estimations based on previous mass tort lawsuits involving eye injuries and blindness similar to the health problems seen in EzriCare victims.

The amount of money that a plaintiff can receive in a settlement depends on several factors, including the severity of their injuries, the cost of their medical treatment, and the amount of pain and suffering they have experienced.

In general, plaintiffs who have suffered serious injuries — such as vision loss or the need for surgery — are more likely to receive a large settlement.

In the EzriCare Lawsuits, plaintiffs are seeking significant damages.

We’ve estimated that a plaintiff with permanent vision loss could receive a settlement of $25,000 to $500,000.

However, it is important to note that these are just estimates based on prior similar mass tort action cases.

The actual amount of a settlement will depend on the specific facts of the case and the legal proceedings that dictate our attorneys’ course of action.

These potential settlement payouts are just that — potential.

Please be advised that any projected or estimated settlement amounts mentioned on this page are general estimations and are not guaranteed. These figures are based on similar previous litigations, the nature of injuries sustained, and estimated costs of damages. They are meant to provide a general idea of what settlement ranges could look like and should not be taken as definitive expectations for your case.

Every legal case is unique, with its own specific circumstances that can significantly affect the outcome. This information is not legal advice and does not address the specifics of your situation. To obtain a more accurate understanding of the potential value of your case, it is best to consult directly with a qualified attorney who can provide personalized guidance.

Have Lawsuits Already Been Filed Against the Manufacturers of Contaminated Artificial Tears?

Lawsuits filed against Global Pharma Healthcare and Delsam Pharma are currently underway with over 100 cases of vision loss and severe infections being documented by law firms and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

However, the EzriCare lawsuits are still in the pretrial stages.

This means that the plaintiffs and their legal representation are still in the process of gathering evidence and preparing their cases.

If more plaintiffs come forward (and many are coming forward), the lawsuits will gain traction, placing the onus on negligent manufacturers of contaminated eye drops to compensate victims.

Manufacturers and distributors of contaminated eye drops — particularly Global Pharma Healthcare — are currently on the receiving end of numerous lawsuits filed after reports of permanent vision loss resulting from severe bacterial infections from the eye drops.

An Overview of the EzriCare Lawsuit

In early 2023, Global Pharma Healthcare recalled EzriCare and Delsam Pharma Artificial Tears due to potential bacterial contamination.

The contaminated Ezricare Eye Drops were found to contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a drug-resistant type of bacteria that can cause vision loss and other forms of severe infection like urinary tract infections and bloodstream infections.

Identifying the threat of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, the CDC investigated EzriCare Artificial Tears and other eye drops — namely Delsam Pharma Artificial tears.

After the investigation, the CDC discovered traces of bacterial contamination in both eye drops.

Just a few months after the investigation, plaintiffs from all over the country reported symptoms of severe infection.

Surgical removal of eyeballs were reported in several patients, and four deaths have been confirmed as related to the bacterial contamination.

Victims had used Ezricare Artificial Tears manufactured by Global Pharma Healthcare.

By May 2023, plaintiffs filed the first batch of lawsuits against the manufacturers of Ezricare and Delsam Pharma Artificial Tears.

The lawsuits were filed on the basis that Global Pharma Healthcare and Delsam Pharma were negligent in their infection control measures during the manufacturing of their artificial tears products.

EzriCare Recall Lawsuit Damages

Plaintiffs are claiming several types of damages following several injuries resulting from the use of contaminated artificial tears.

These injuries include severe eye infections and vision loss (acute and permanent).

As damages, plaintiffs are seeking:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages and earning ability
• Lost quality of life
• Emotional damages
• Permanent disability
• Potentially other compensatory and punitive damages

If these lawsuits are successful, the manufacturers of contaminated eye drops will have to compensate victims who were exposed to their artificial tears products.

As mentioned earlier, the eye drops infection lawsuits are in their early stages.

FDA Finds Dirty Equipment and Other Violations at Global Pharma Healthcare Factory

Inspection records published in April 2023 revealed major problems at the Global Pharma Healthcare Factory.

Issues such as dirty equipment, inadequate procedures, and missing safeguards and clothing were detailed in citations issued by the FDA to the company.

The inspection was the first visit by the FDA to the company’s plant in India, which was initiated due to the multistate outbreak of extensively drug-resistant bacteria associated with the company’s eye drops.

The FDA’s inspection uncovered poor cleaning procedures, gaps in written procedures and training, unexplained discrepancies in records, and unsatisfactory cleaning of surfaces.

Key tests to ensure product sterility were not conducted, and ingredient verification was insufficient.

The FDA expanded its warning to include another eye product made by the company after finding contaminated unopened tubes.

What Is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa?

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium commonly found in the environment, such as soil, water, and plants.

It can cause infections in people with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions.

This bacterium is known for its ability to adapt and survive in different environments, including hospitals, where it poses a significant risk to patients.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection can occur in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and wounds.

When present in products like eye drops, an infection can take place and cause extensive vision loss that may be permanent.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is opportunistic, preying on people with weakened immune systems and infecting vulnerable organs like the eyes.

Furthermore, another concerning aspect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is its resistance to many antibiotics.

It has developed enzymes and mechanisms that help it withstand the effects of antimicrobial drugs.

This antibiotic resistance can lead to severe and long-lasting infections, making Pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections challenging to treat in various healthcare settings.

What To Do if You've Developed an Eye Infection From EzriCare Artificial Tears

Developing any sort of infection is an emergency.

If you’ve developed an eye infection from using EzriCare Artificial Tears, you need to seek medical attention immediately and report your health problems to relevant agencies.

You should also retain any evidence relating to your condition and the purchase of contaminated eye drops.

It’s also highly recommended that you consult with an experienced lawyer to help you through the process of an EzriCare Lawsuit.

Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Seeking medical attention is the first step everyone must take following Ezricare Eye Drop infections.

Medical care may be able to halt the progression of infections, preventing further eye damage and vision loss.

Besides improving your chances of recovery and aiding in the prevention of vision loss, seeking medical care also produces medical records that will be useful in litigation.

Medical records will be useful when you file a claim against negligent eye drops manufacturers like Global Pharma Healthcare.

Also, a diagnosis will prove the severity of your injuries, potentially maximizing your settlement amount.

Retain Records for Evidence

As mentioned, medical records and other documents during your hospital stay will be crucial in your EzriCare lawsuit.

When gathering records, secure and retain as many of them as you can that pertain to your diagnosis and purchase of contaminated eye drops.

The most important records to keep as evidence will include the following:

• Diagnostic tests
• Your physician’s diagnosis
• Treatment records
• Receipts of purchase for dangerous eye drops

These will prove the amount you’ve paid for medical care and will count towards your EzriCare Eye Drops lawsuit payout amount.

Lastly, you will want to retain any proof that you used EzriCare or Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears Eye Drops.

Having proof that you used these products will help establish your exposure and link your diagnosis to your use of these eye drops.

Your attorney can help you gather evidence for your lawsuit.
