Most infamous product liability lawsuit of the year is turning out to be against Triad Group and their contaminated alcohol wipes. The alcohol wipe lawsuits are mounting, forming what’s known in legal circles as as precursor to an actual alcohol wipes class action lawsuit. The alcohol prep pads and swabs were recalled earlier this year after it was found that some were contaminated with bacillus cereus.
The Triad alcohol prep pads were distributed to hospitals as part of kits, and also to chain drugstores for home use. Adults as well as newborns have been infected with bacillus cereus after using Triad alcohol wipes, and the lawsuits filed point to the prep pads as source of the serious infection in plaintiffs. It’s yet to be known whether the mounting cases against Triad will form a tainted wipes class action lawsuit.
In this most recent case, there is a new birth injury lawsuit filed after a premature baby was infected in the hospital after being treated with Triad alcohol prep pads. The plaintiffs in the case say it was tainted alcohol wipes that caused a serious infection which then led to cerebral palsy in the newborn.
