Bausch & Lomb, Alcon Settle Advertising Lawsuit

August 21, 2007

Bausch & Lomb and Alcon Laboratories announced they have settled a lawsuit recently filed by Bausch & Lomb concerning Alcon’s promotional claims about Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu MultiPlus multi-purpose disinfecting solution.

The suit centered on Alcon’s use of a color-coded chart showing differences in superficial punctate transient corneal staining profiles. To address Bausch & Lomb’s concern over the red-yellow color scheme of the corneal staining grid, Alcon has agreed to change it, Bausch & Lomb said.

As a result of the companies’ agreements, the lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice, without any payment of damages from either party, the company added.
