From the article:
CONCORD — A second wave of lawsuits over contaminated medicine is being directed at PainCare, owned by Michael O’Connell.
Thirteen patients of PainCare, which has 10 locations in New Hampshire, including Newington and Somersworth, filed suit against the company and its owner Wednesday for contracting meningitis in 2012.
The second wave of lawsuits is directed at PainCare, “the New Hampshire business that chose to buy the ‘bargain basement’ medicine and give injections of contaminated medicine to New Hampshire patients,” McGrath said in a press release Thursday morning.
“The folks have suffered pain, stress and anxiety,” McGrath stated. “To make matters worse, many do not have health insurance to pay for the critical treatment.”
This lawsuit states the 13 residents were terribly harmed by the contaminated medicine. Some plaintiffs have more than $200,000 in medical expenses caused by the contaminated medicine. Several plaintiffs are disabled and were hospitalized as a result of the contaminated injections.
