Fleet is linked to a risk of kidney injury called acute phosophate nephropathy
Following the issuance of FDA's safety alert on Thursday stating that oral sodium phosphates bowel cleansing solutions should be available by prescription only, C.B. Fleet Company immediately announced a voluntary recall of its over-the-counter products Fleet® Phospho-soda® and Fleet® Phospho-soda® EZ-Prep® Bowel Cleansing System.
According to the FDA, such cleansers may cause kidney damage.
The voluntary recall is directed to retailers and wholesalers.
The recall decision was made to address FDA's determination that oral sodium phosphatesolutions used for bowel preparation prior to medical procedures (such as a colonoscopy) should only be available by prescription, and that consumers should not use over-the-counter products for bowel cleansing.
