Consumer products and medical devices have standards they must meet before being made available to the public. Products intended for children and babies, medical devices, and safety equipment all come with an expectation that it will improve people’s lives, not destroy them. When someone is injured using a product they trust to help them, their confidence is destroyed. Side effects and consequences of defects can have catastrophic impacts.

NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit
Baby formula is supposed to provide essential nutrition to newborns. Unfortunately, certain formulas made by Enfamil and Similac have been shown to increase the occurrence of NEC in babies. Necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, is a rare intestinal disorder affecting preemies. The condition is fatal in 50% of the instances.
Mead Johnson and Abbott Laboratories products Enfamil and Similac have no warnings about NEC as a side effect of baby formula or proper guidelines for their use. They continue to market this products as safe and beneficial for premature babies.
Tylenol Autism Lawsuit
Tylenol products were once a trusted source of pain relief for pregnant mothers. Johnson & Johnson however, knew these products were not safe to unborn babies, but kept that information from the public. If your child has autism and the child’s mother used Tylenol, generic acetaminophen, Nyquil, Dayquil, or Excedrin during her pregnancy, you may be eligible for compensation for your child and your family.
Examples of Defective Products
Manufacturers of the chemical weed killer Roundup knew exposure to it may cause severe illnesses, most notably non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Roundup lawsuits contend that agrochemical giant Monsanto purposely concealed cancer risks and failed to provide sufficient warnings on the dangers of glyphosate exposure in both agricultural and horticultural applications.
While natural talc contains asbestos, manufacturing processes dating back to 1970 claimed to remove all traces of the carcinogen.
According to Reuters, “J&J didn’t tell the FDA that at least three tests by three different labs from 1972 to 1975 had found asbestos in its talc – in one case at levels reported as ‘rather high.’”
For decades, internal test results were hidden from the public. Decades later women are developing ovarian cancer related to the use of this product.
Recent studies found the use of chemical hair straightening products, hair relaxers, and other hair products present an increased risk of uterine cancer. Some of the most common home straightening products like Dark & Lovely, Just For Me, and Softsheen are being named in new lawsuits.
