Lawsuitsettlementnews.com Reports $250MM GranuFlo Settlement

BOSTON, Feb. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MT Services LLC, a Lawsuit Settlement News Reporting Company which operates lawsuitsettlementnews.com, announced today that Fresenius Medical Care has reached a $250 million agreement in principle to settle claims over their GranuFlo and NaturaLyte dialysis drugs. Sources indicate that the settlement amount will be $250 million as long as 97% of plaintiffs agree to the terms of the deal by July of 2016. If so, the funding will be provided the following month (in August of 2016).

The Fresenius website released an article stating that "Insurers will fund the settlement amount with $220 million," and therefore, "the company expects a pre-tax charge of $60 million from the settlement and other costs to finalize this matter."

The GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) U.S. District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock in the District of Massachusetts (In re: Fresenius GranuFlo/NaturaLyte Dialysate Litigation, MDL No. 2428).

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are dialysates used in thousands of dialysis centers to treat patients with kidney disease or failure; however, the lawsuits against Fresenius Medical Care include patients who have suffered injury or even death as a result of using GranuFlo and/or NaturaLyte products during hemodialysis.

Potential injuries and complications from GranuFlo and NaturaLyte products include:

• heart attack
• cardiopulmonary arrest
• stroke
• death

Chris Janish, CEO of MTS, commented on the recent settlement, "We are pleased to see that Fresenius Medical Care has agreed to a substantial settlement amount, and we encourage anyone with a potential GranuFlo claim to contact a lawyer immediately. If you need assistance with finding a GranuFlo law firm or lawyer, don't hesitate to contact us."
