Start your Oculentis claim today
If you’ve yet to start your Oculentis claim, here’s some information about getting started today. It’s important to claim as soon as you can.
If you’re one of the hundreds of people who have suffered with opacification problems having been fitted with intraocular lenses manufactured by Oculentis, you may have a claim for compensation. The blind spots and cloudiness in the vision can be caused by calcification from phosphate that was previously used in the manufacturing process.
The way to correct the problem is to have further surgery for the lenses to be replaced. You may be able to claim personal injury compensation for having to undergo the further surgical procedure.

The Gatwick drone incident raises legal questions
The Gatwick drone incident that has brought one of the UK’s biggest airports to a complete standstill this week raises big legal questions.
We’ve written before about the use of smart technology and how it can be dangerous. Although the Gatwick drones appear to be high-tech and are being used as part of what appears to be a deliberate ploy, everyday drones can be dangerous. It’s those drones that can be easily bought online or on the high street that raise the legal questions as well.
If something happens, where’s the liability? Where’s the insurance? What do we need to do to ensure people are protected?
Valsartan recall widens
The Valsartan recall widened last month following updated advice from the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
Batches of products containing Valsartan that were supplied by Teva UK Ltd and Mylan are being recalled in the UK. This follows on from a drug alert earlier this year that was issued after the discovery that some Valsartan products were contaminated. Legal cases are already underway, and this latest recall involves further batches of the product.
An immediate suspension and quarantine of the additional affected products has been ordered.
Were you affected by the cough syrup mould recall?
Were you affected by the cough syrup mould issues that came to light over summer? In the midst of the season for colds and coughs, you may want to take heed of this warning if you’re not aware of it already.
Over summer, a formal recall was issued with the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. This was a Class 2 Medicines recall for own-brand glycerine and blackcurrant cough syrup products manufactured for children by Bell, Sons & Co.
As these are marketed as own-brand products, it’s the likes of Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco at the centre of this recall.
Dangerous vitamin and mineral supplements
Are vitamin and mineral supplements pointless and potentially dangerous? Some experts think they are. What does this mean for users?
An American study claims that some vitamin and mineral supplements don’t provide for any health benefits to the user at all. Worse still, their research also suggested that some may actually increase the risks of death. Some may also be problematic for people with particular conditions, like diabetes.
In an age where health and beauty are important, are being people ripped off? Are some people even being put in danger?
Bone cement complications from product recall
A regulator warning earlier this year stemmed from bone cement complications caused by an issue with the product itself.
A risk of the need for revision surgery from the use of Optipac 40 Refobacin Revision and Optipac 80 Refobacin Revision was identified. Manufacturer, Biomet UK Limited, issued a Field Safety Notice at the end of last year. The UK’s medical regulator, the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), issued their own recall advice off the back of the findings.
Anyone who has suffered with bone cement complications may find the reason is to do with the product itself as opposed to failed surgery.
