Details: The AMO Complete MoisturePlus settlement will resolve a 2007 class action lawsuit, entitled Lazar vs. Advanced Medical Optics, that charged the company with consumer fraud for misrepresenting the safety of its contact solution.

In May 2007, Advanced Medical Optics (now Abbott Medical Optics, “AMO”) recalled bottles of Complete MoisturePlus contact lens solutions after a report issued by the CDC noted an increased risk of developing a parasitic eye infection called Acanthamoeba keratitis in contact lens wearers who used the product.

The AMO class action lawsuit alleged that AMO misled consumers into falsely believing that the product would effectively “disinfect” their contact lenses when in fact the solution did not disinfect against Acanthamoeba and other harmful organisms that are known to contaminate contact lenses. AMO denies the allegations and claims that Complete MoisturePlus met all FDA requirements, but has agreed to a class action settlement to resolve the litigation.

Under the AMO Complete MoisturePlus contact solution class action settlement:

— AMO will give a 100% cash refund for every bottle of Complete MoisturePlus that a California consumer bought since June 8, 2003, if the consumer can document the purchase through a receipt or a bottle;

— If a consumer cannot document his purchase of the product through a receipt or a bottle but attests to the purchase, AMO will give the consumer a $10 coupon that is “as good as cash” toward the purchase of certain other AMO products;

— AMO will pay the difference between the total of the cash refunds paid and $650,000 to Guide Dogs of America and Children’s Vision First;

— AMO will no longer sell Complete MoisturePlus in California;

— If AMO applies to the FDA during the next three years for clearance to market a multi-purpose disinfecting solution that employs a “no-rub” and “no-rinse” regimen, AMO will request the FDA’s permission to include on the product label specific cautionary language concerning the disinfecting ability of the solution.

To receive the 100% cash refund or the “good as cash” coupon from the AMO Complete MoisturePlus settlement, you must submit a claim form postmarked no later than February 16, 2012.
