Today published at Mail Online is an article by Fiona Roberts reporting on a lawsuit filed by the parents of Myles Massey, who since birth has suffered from brain damage. According to the article the parents believe their child's condition was caused by contaminated alcohol prep pads manufactured by Triad.
Back in February the HCV community was alerted to a recall of the prep pads manufactured by Triads parent company H&P. The prep pads were packaged with pegasys in the U.S . and Pegintron outside the U.S. It was reported that the pads from H&P were potentially contaminated with a rare bacteria, Bacillus cereus.
Just last week MSNBC ran this article "FDA probes new death, infections tied to tainted wipes" .
"Federal health officials are investigating whether contaminated alcohol prep products from a shuttered Wisconsin firm led to the death of a 66-year-old man who developed a bacterial infection after being treated for skin cancer and diabetes.
The death is among eight reports of fatalities, 11 infections and nearly 250 other problems now associated with medical products manufactured and distributed by the Triad Group and H&P Industries Inc. of Hartland, Wis., newly released records from the federal Food and Drug Administration show."
