The lawsuits against Fresenius Medical Care Inc. claim that the company knew of the danger in their products and failed to adequately warn and inform the public, and there are also allegations that they neglected to warn health care providers as well as properly train them on how to use these dialysis products safely. The lawsuits allege that Fresenius Medical Care failed to warn dialysis clinics – outside its own Fresenius clinics – of potential Alkali Dosing Errors. Claims against Fresenius Medical Care include patients who have suffered injury or death as a result of using GranuFlo and/or NaturaLyte products during hemodialysis. GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are dialysates used in thousands of dialysis centers to treat patients with kidney disease or failure. Potential injuries and complications from GranuFlo and NaturaLyte products include: heart attack, cardiopulmonary arrest, stroke, and death.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the upcoming bellwether trials, "With the Granuflo bellwether trials still a year away, this litigation is still in the early stages; although we believe that it could turn into a large class when it is all said and done. With serious injuries, including death in some cases, we stand ready to assist plaintiffs and their families with getting the lawsuit help they need, whether it is getting a Granuflo cash advance or finding a top notch Granuflo law firm."
