A woman died after allegedly getting meningitis from the infected drugs. The lawsuit targets Urgent Care Pharmacy of Spartanburg, S.C.
At least three people, including
James Hickman
of Wilson County, say steroid shots from the company made them sick. Now, they are worried about meningitis. Attorneys say their first priority is to find out who is affected.
"We want to, with this lawsuit, get an effective medical monitoring plan immediately at the cost of the defendant," said Kimberly Wilson of Duffus and Melvin.
Urgent Care Pharmacy has 45 days to respond to the lawsuit.
The
Centers for Disease Control
has received the samples of the painkiller from the South Carolina pharmacy. It will be a minimum of 21 days before the test results are completed.
