Fresenius Dialysis Treatment Lawsuit Overview

The Fresenius dialysis litigation centered on allegations that the company’s widely used dialysis products, GranuFlo and NaturaLyte, caused sudden cardiac arrest and death among patients undergoing treatment.

Manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care, the products were designed to help manage acid levels in the blood, but they contained ingredients that could lead to dangerously high bicarbonate levels if not properly administered. Thousands of patients and families claimed that Fresenius failed to warn clinics and healthcare providers about these risks, despite having internal data showing elevated rates of cardiac complications.

Concerns intensified after a 2012 internal memo surfaced indicating that Fresenius had known for months that improper use of its dialysis concentrates was contributing to a spike in patient deaths. The company was accused of alerting its own dialysis centers while withholding the same safety warnings from competing facilities that also used its products. In response, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Class I recall—the agency’s most serious level—highlighting the potential for fatal outcomes.

The lawsuits were consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2428) in the District of Massachusetts, where plaintiffs pursued claims of negligence, failure to warn, and wrongful death. Fresenius ultimately agreed to a $250 million settlement in 2016 to resolve thousands of cases.

My lawyer is trying to say we dnt get any money frim granuflo its the naturlyte that was us with my dad treatments and we have to go back to court on that issue . Our lawyers are big liers.
Mevans
My stepmother asked my brother and I if we wanted to be a part of the lawsuit. We stated yes. My father also passed away within hours of being treated. When I received a copy of the settlement I was flabbergasted. The offer was for those in the top tier to receive approximately $87,500. When speaking with this attorney I got the impression that they were a rip off. And for those of you who received the paperwork and you read it, the attorneys are going to get paid not only from the settlement however, the lawyers will also receive 40% as a retainer fee. My stepmother is 75 years old, she signed to opt-in and after meeting with an attorney outside of the case, the attorney was livid. I am praying that they will not receive the 97% because this is a multi-billion-dollar company that killed so many of our loved ones.
Tracy
Hello everyone. I did recieve my packet last week stating that I do qualify for tier one. I have until Sept 15, 2016 to opt in.
Booker

Booker
I dnt no what there doing but the lawyers are full of shit
Rochelle
My husbands lawyer now says they added a criteria that something in his dad’s records has to have the wording cardiac arrest in it. It’s crazy, lawyer said all the criteria was met except that so their getting more records, my father-in-law died within 2 and half hours after dialysis.
vicki
My mom died on the table at 58 years of age April 2011 still waiting haven’t heard anything except being told to settle out of court…and lawyer is taking 40 % does anyone know amounts or dates..We still owe the funeral home even if that gets paid will be ok nothing will ever bring her back or replace her….just a shame we have to fight five years now to pay for funeral expenses. When they killed my mom.
Debra
Sorry so many of you are having trouble with your lawyers. Mine have been great and keeps me informed. There is two products and there has to be proof that one of them was used. Each has different qualifiers. I did not have to get any medical records and send. I gave lawyers info and they got it all taken care of. The cut off date is 9/15/16. Not sure how it is going to turn out but my husband does qualify. Granuflo was used and he died less than 24hrs after treatment from cardiac arrest. Pray that you all get answers soon. Deb
Dimond
I just don’t know why the criteria keeps changing. My mother passed due to cardiac arrhythmia which if the homework was properly it can lead to sudden death in which it did. Come on now from 2003 to 2010 and I know she was receiving this drug. They must be out of their greedy rapid axx minds to think that I’m going to give up. By the way opt in date changed until Oct 2016 says my attorney. I guess they’re coming up with more ways to shut us out. We have to do something bc it’s not right! It was our loved ones that were lost not theirs. SMH!!!
denise
lawyer said i only get &1500 because my mother died one one hour afther the 24 hour limit set by the courts this is not justice
Terry
The justice department or some one should look into this, 250 millions for so many deaths just doesn’t seem right.
Sunshine
I spoke to my attorney last week and he tried to lie and say that the judge has not chosen a partucular qualifying injury and that arythmia could be the qualifying standard for being included in the lawsuit. I informed him that I knew the qualifications already. I am so over these slick arttorneys doing everything that they can to withold information, I do not trust them at all. The attorney did state that the paperwork was for opting in or out would reach everyone within the next 3-4 weeks.
Edtrina
So far all this case has caused is more debt/stress and less knowledge/information I’m completely lost sent medical records which were not free I havent heard anything!!!!..
shelia
there is a lot on this info by going to granuflo update nephrology seeing comments on letters received already.
Dan
Wow, It hurts me to see so many families lose love ones receiving treatment that’s suppose to help, not kill. Now that a mediocre settlement has been reached they handpicked who’s in and who’s out. They contact people saying you have a case. Just to tell them they don’t meet the criteria for settlement. It wasn’t a criteria when people love ones died. So what makes a $250 million settlement worth disrespecting your Integrity fighting for a Wrongful Death case. Asking people to dismiss a case, Never to be able to bring lawsuit again. This has to be Misrepresntation and Intimidating all in one because they get paid you don’t. This is pure Injustice
Karen
I just spoke with my attorney and they stated we won’t get our info if we are included or not until around Sept 15. Then we will receive a packet. Just keeps getting pushed back every month. Very frustrating and sad for all of us involved.
Fran
Still waiting for papers . Does anyone know any details for these settlements? Feeling confused#frustrated !!!!
Josh
It behooves these lawyers to get as many settlements as possible, why? the more they settle, the more $$$ they make. many of the folks who are “kicked out”, keep in mind, you don’t have to pay your lawyers a dime, and they don;t make anything from you if you’re one of the kicked out folks. Waste of time, and man hours, so like I said, it behooves them to settle as many as they can. The lawyers won’t like not making money on many of these cases.
christina
i feel im being misrepresentated
Rochelle
Has anyone heard of this new criteria? My father in law went into cardiac arrest about 2 hrs after having dialysis in July 2010 and could not be revived. My husbands attorney is saying that somewhere in all the reports from that day it needs to say “cardiac arrest”on something, doesn’t matter what as long as it’s on any paperwork from that day. He’s saying that’s a new criteria that was added a couple weeks ago, we can’t find any information on this. His death certificate states that he died from a heart attack. Would the emt’s report have cardiac arrest on it? We’re just trying to figure this out. His attorneys are requesting more paperwork. Thanks in advance if anyone has any info to shed light on this.
Robin
If an individual had contributed to the death of so many people they would never see the light of day again. But you grease a few legal palms from a trillion dollar company and BINGO! We all get screw over.
Robin
People don’t opt in. This would just be helping the legal community to sell us out! Don’t sign that letter to let that drug company off the hook. That is a German own company that grossed over 16.7 Billion dollars a year in 2015 alone. They have used our loved ones like laboratory rats to experiment on. The settlement amount will just merely cover those attorney legal fees across the country. Their just selling us out! Don’t let them get away with this.
Mike
So true robin!
Tracy
I just called my attorney and was told that they just recieved paper work to send out to claimants. So hopefully i will recieve my packet or letter letting me know if my case qualifies or not.I will post and let yall know the outcome.
Robin
We are assuming this letter was sent in error because your firm had our mothers case for over 3 years. We kept in constant contact with you as you filed this and that. All the while you never indicated that our mothers case was nothing but valid. But now since a settlement has been reached you are cutting our family off from closure. This is why distrust is rampant in the minds of people towards the legal community. This company made a mistake that cost our mother her life. We came to the legal community to make it right but instead this same community uses their clients loss, pain and suffering to line their greedy pockets the same way that the drug company did. There needs to be a class action against the way we are being misrepresented by the legal community because your mistakes aren’t mistakes they are deliberate! Driven by greed just like the pharmaceutical companies. Therefore we will not sign that letter you sent us, we will not give you the easy way out. Our mother died apparently so you and that drug company can be that much richer. So enjoy the fruits of your labor because there is a special place in the bowels of HELL, already filled to capacity with the likes of such in your profession, yet making room for more. Have a great descent!
Ck
I am also concerned. I have received no information sine I filed short form complaint, my husband died within hours of treatment and meets all criteria that some of you commented on. Hope I recieve a letter soon so I can put this behind me. Please keep posting any info you recieve.i will attempt to contact the liaison attorney listed on the complaint for my state. Good luck to you all.
jessie
Do anyone know what going to happen if some one do not take the opt in will the case still be heard?
florida
i got a letter from my lawyer saying they could not find that they used that product. and asked me to opt off on the company. I said no and I mean no. Never because if you could not find that they used this product, why not tell me that in 2012 when I got a lawyer or 2013 it would not have taken this long to find that out. Why wait until a settlement is made and then u come up with we didn’t find the product was used its 2016 now after a settlement is made and u ask me to opt out. Well I told them no,she tell me well u have that right. About a week later my lawyer call asking me to close my case and I said no , I told him I will close that door with,but never the medical company. He tells me all he have to do is go to the judge and ask for something and it will go away in 30 days so I told him to do what he got to do . Because I am not going to close my case with the medical company. Why would he have to got to the judge if I didn’t have a case,and why will MY LAWYER want me to sign off on the medical company. Its looks like to me he jump ship got off my boat and aboard the medical ship that all I am saying. Never will I sign off on that
K
Does anyone know how much each family is expected to get? $250mil just doesn’t seem adequate enough for how many families have sued.

Laurie
My mother died within minutes of receiving her dialysis treatment. From the dialysis unit to the hospital by ambulance is less than a mile away and she died on the way. My lawyers have not contacted me either nor given me any form to opt out! The 250 million is an insult to all of us including the dearly departed who suffered the most!! That company should be ashamed for making a profit off the dead and dying!!! God is watching you all!!! If you wont be judged here you will be later!!!

My husband had a massive heart attack in dialysis on his 3rd visit. He was revived twice and spent the next 2 years in a nursing home because he could not walk again. I brought him home for the next 2 years, He past away in 2015 after a very horrific 4years caused by this drug. I call my lawyer about every 3 to 4 months for updates and was last told the letter would be sent out in September instead of July. Never get much real updates and wonder if they will change the date again. When I asked how long after letters are signed I was told it will be awhile for checks not sure if that means weeks, months or years. This is all very sad that they are taking so long
Shan
Hello, No update yet on our case. No offers or anything. Still waiting. Hopefully by mid/end of this month.
Mindy
My father woke up on 11/30/2010, went to dialysis they were having issues keeping his BP under control and instead of sending him to a hospital they sent him home. He met my uncle at their usual spot for breakfast l. My uncle said that when my father walked through the door he looked at him with a huge smile on his face like he had some genius plan for the two of them that day, his eyes rolled back and he went down to the floor. They called 911 and it took several minutes for them to get to him. Mind you the fire station was literally right across the street. They revived my dad there at the restaurant, lost him 3 more times on the way to the hospital and then revived him again this time placing him on life support. When I arrived an hour after I was informed that I should allow them to cool his body temp to possibly preserve brain function so o agreed to it. My father spent 6 days on life support showing no sign of improvement. The doctors kept telling me I’d need to make a decision to keep him on or let him go. He was an organ donor so I really feel that played a role in their anticipation of removing him from the support. Only after I made them do multiple test to sloeive to me his brain has no function did I decide to let him go. Being his only child the decisions were left upon me. I wouldn’t wish for any child to have to go through what I did. I had just spoken with my father a couple days before excited about the deals I spoke with my father daily and most days I’d wake up or come home from work to find him napping in my recliner or on my sofa. My children lost their male role model and I my best friend all within a matter of hours after he was doing something that should’ve kept him around longer for all of us. I agree with those of you who say the settlement is not enough. For the company themselves to only be out $60million out of their own pockets is ridiculous. People have lost their lives and families have lost their support systems.
jay
This whole litigation has been nothing but bs
Debi
My case is prob one of the oddest my father had a stroke within 24 hrs of treatment. Suffered and the entire time he was trying to recoup from the stroke he was being pumped full of Granuflo 3x a week. He never missed any treatment during the recouperation from the stroke. They said he needed the treatments and he couldn’t miss them so the entire time the company was hidding the memo and the knowledge of their product my father us still trying to recoup but being pumped full of this stuff , then after his ravished heart and body couldn’t take anymore of this Granuflo he had a heart related episode again 24 hours after treatment and ended up on life support again receiving dialysis treatment while on life support because we still didn’t know about the product. Finally we made the decision to remove him from life support and he passed. Now if that isn’t suffering I don’t know what is

My mother died in 2012 from Cardiac Arrest after receiving dialysis using NaturaLyte. Since they changed the death from 48 hrs to 24 hrs (after dialysis), my mother’s claim is not eligible. Money was never the point….the point is, someone being held accountable for my mother’s death. $1500 is not being held accountable.

I just received a letter from my attorney saying that my mother’s claim (she passed away 2012 of a cardiac arrest after receiving dialysis using NaturaLyte) does not meet the qualifications. She died 48 hours after treatment. The 24 hour term is going to knock a lot of people out of the lawsuit. This is wrong on so many levels.

I think it is taking longer due to getting records that lawyer have requested. My husband got off treatment and exactly 24hr the hospital had him in. They were trying to get the ambulance records to show it was less than 24 hrs. when I called 911. They already have proof that the chemical was used on him. I have a lawyer in my state and have had no problem getting information. My husband died in 2009.
