Fresenius Medical Care (NYSE:FMS) wants a Colorado court to order one of its suppliers, Magnum Plastics, to cover the costs of a recall and any settlements it has to pay as a result, saying Magnum breached its contract when it produced the defective component that led to the recall.
According to the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for Colorado, Magnum discovered a flaw in the mold it used to produce a component for the Fresenius Liberty hemodialysis system.
