Anyone else having this issue with concave coloplast one peice? I have had multiple bags from different boxes fail like this. I called the phone number on thier website and got an automated message that no one could answer my call at this time and try again. Over the course of a week calling at different times during business hours, I got the same message. Finally I called and chose the option of being a distrabutor and got someone right away. The person gave me an email and advised that they no longer answer the customer line (Canada). After a lot of fustration and excolation I was told by Laura Cristina Robledo it was because my bowls are to acitic. My diet and lifestyle has not changed. Today at a support group, of 12 people, not all with stomas, another person said they are having the same issue and it is a quality control issue. Icing on the cake, they will only replace the used bags and told me to keep using the ones from the same boxs, even though every one of them has failed this way. Sorry to hear your going through this and getting poor customer service from the company. I dont use that type pouch but I have had that happen with convatec in the past. They did replace all of mine. It was a bad batch as I have not had the issue after that. Can you call your medical supply co where you get them from to see if maybe they will replace them for you? One question....have you been getting a lot of ballooning lately from gas? Because that can cause it to detach as well. Thanks for responding, it sucks that a medical device just fails like that due to a bad batch... It's nice to know I am not alone in this. @kevin-eh it does suck. I've had trouble in the past when I was trying out the mio and was getting leakage at the velcro ends. Yes, unfortunately these qualiry control issues happen. Usually the company will want a number from the boxes and they will replace all of them. I'm surprised they are not replacing the whole boxes for you. Like I'm sure your going to be stressed out putting another one of those on. That's not cool of them.to tell you to use the others. Man, that's brutal. I've never had an appliance fail there, but it does sound like one of those "one-in-a-million" defects that I hope doesn't happen again. And it's a shame that the entire box wasn't replaced. It really needed to be, since it's highly likely that whatever caused the problem, exists through the entire batch. Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate.
