Play with the second link, or do your own google search. B&L was taking the exact same lens off the production line and putting it in different packaging. The same lens was being sold with different replacement schedules and different quantities.
The claim was the one day Accuvue and regular Accuvue were essentially the same lens. J&J decided to settle rather then argue differences in power or diameter had anything to do with how many days a lens could be worn. At that time the one day Accvue could be worn for as many days as the regular Accuvue, if the same care was used.
I'm not going to take the time to do further searches. My memory is J&J wanted to release their one day lens before they had the mfg in place to produce a different lens. They essentially used the regular Accuvue so they could get it to market quicker.
This old news. My point is the previous posters didn't go back far enough when they did their search.
The purpose of my post isn't to "find" the companies guilty (or innocent) but rather to document the fact that B&L sold the same lens at different price points with different replacement suggestions. Also to confirm J&J sold what was essentially the same lens as One Day Accuvue and regular Accuvue.
The companies didn't deny those claims. They said they didn't do anything wrong.
The OP asked if there was any legal action taken against J&J. Two posters incorrectly stated there was no such action. Regardless of any legal decision,at that time the one day accuvue could be worn for the same number of days as the regular accuvue.
