About the Suboxone Lawsuits

Suboxone is a prescription drug that is commonly used for the treatment of opioid addiction recovery. There is overwhelming evidence showing that Suboxone causes chronic dry mouth which can lead to acute tooth decay and tooth loss. The manufacturers of Suboxone were aware of this side effect for more than a decade but failed to include any warning about tooth decay on the drug product label.

Lawsuits are being filed across the U.S. claiming that cow-milk based baby formula has caused many premature infants to develop a serious gastrointestinal infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The basis for these lawsuits is that research has long shown that cow milk is associated with NEC in premature infants, and the manufacturers of formulas such as Similac and Enfamil should have warned doctors and parents of the risks. Our firm is currently seeking NEC formula lawsuits.  Plaintiffs who bring successful baby formula NEC lawsuit could receive significant financial compensation. 

Formula Can Cause Increased Risk of NEC in Premature Infants 

Infant formula products such as Similac or Enfamil are made from cow milk and given to newborn babies as a substitute for human breast milk.  A growing body of scientific evidence has proven cow milk formulas significantly increase the risk of a life-threatening bowel infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) when given to premature infants.

In 2021, the surgical implant manufacturer Exactech announced a recall of all its Optetrak® implant systems used in total knee replacement surgeries since 2004. The recall came after the company discovered that a problem with the product packaging was causing the polyethylene insert component in the Optetrak implants to degrade not function properly. This defect is causing the Optetrak knee implant systems to prematurely fail which ultimately requires patients to undergo additional revision surgery.

Individuals who had the Exactech Optetrak system implanted and suffered premature failure due to this defect can file a product liability lawsuit against Exactech and potentially recover financial compensation for their pain and medical bills. Our firm is currently accepting Optetrak implant failure cases from patients who suffered a premature failure to their knee replacement implant and had to undergo revision surgery.

Numerous women have brought lawsuits concerning vaginal mesh against multiple medical device firms due to injuries stemming from flawed transvaginal mesh implants. This article aims to outline the issues linked with vaginal mesh implants and their role in precipitating one of the most substantial mass litigation cases in history. Additionally, it will provide updates on the ongoing vaginal mesh class action lawsuit and offer insights into potential eligibility for individuals considering initiating their own legal action concerning vaginal mesh complications.

About Vaginal Mesh Implants

Vaginal mesh, also known as transvaginal mesh, represents a specific type of surgical mesh implant utilized to reinforce and bolster weakened or injured tissue during surgical procedures. These mesh products are tailored for female pelvic reconstructive surgeries, commonly performed to address pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence. These conditions arise due to the weakening of pelvic muscles, allowing organs such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum to descend into the vaginal area. Surgical intervention aims to repair and fortify these weakened pelvic muscles.

Between 1957 and 1987, the water supply at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, was contaminated with harmful chemicals at exceedingly high levels. Studies have demonstrated that exposure to this contaminated water while residing or working at Camp Lejeune led to the development of cancer, birth defects, and various health issues for numerous individuals. Unfortunately, North Carolina law has prevented these Camp Lejeune victims from pursuing legal action. However, the U.S. Senate is on the verge of passing a new federal law that will allow victims of water contamination at Camp Lejeune to file claims and receive financial compensation.

Our nationwide team of mass tort attorneys is now open to taking on new cases related to Camp Lejeune water contamination. We are specifically seeking victims who resided or worked at the base between 1957 and 1987 and subsequently received diagnoses such as leukemia, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, anemia, or other myelodysplastic syndromes.

In October 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a significant recall of WanaBana fruit pouches due to elevated lead levels found in specific samples of WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Purée pouches. All WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Purée pouches, regardless of their expiration date, are included in this recall.

Following this discovery, the FDA urgently advised parents and caregivers to immediately stop providing these pouches to children and to safely dispose of any remaining products. Additionally, the FDA strongly recommended that toddlers and young children who might have consumed the recalled pouches undergo a blood test to check for potential lead exposure and consult with a healthcare provider.

Lead poisoning poses severe health risks, including developmental delays, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and even fatal outcomes. Lead, a toxic metal, can harm the nervous system, particularly in children.
