Nitrous oxide cartridges, often sold under names like Whip-Its, Galaxy Gas, and Baking Bad, are now at the center of a growing wave of lawsuits across the country. Our lawyers are handling claims against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for serious nitrous oxide injuries.

What was marketed as a novelty or culinary product has become a common recreational inhalant, especially among young people. Repeated use is dangerous. It can cause neurological injury, psychiatric damage, spinal cord dysfunction, and in some cases, death. Nitrous oxide use is now showing up in medical records, emergency rooms, and court filings. This is a serious and escalating problem.

Lawsuits allege that companies failed to warn about known risks, marketed products in ways that encouraged abuse, and ignored clear signs of harm. Cases include personal injury and wrongful death claims, as well as proposed class actions arising from deceptive labeling and distribution practices. These claims could eventually be consolidated in a federal MDL for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

Our lawyers are handling Similac and Enfamil infant formula lawsuits for families whose premature babies suffered or died from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after taking one of these formulas.  Our law firm is reviewing NEC lawsuits in all 50 states.

Medical research links cow milk-based infant formulas such as Similac and Enfamil to a dangerous neonatal medical condition known as necrotizing enterocolitis.  These newborn NEC formula lawsuits make a lot of allegations.  But at their core, they allege that the makers of these formulas knew of the risk of NEC and did nothing to warn families and give them a choice.

If your premature baby was diagnosed with NEC after being given Similac or Enfamil formula, you may be able to participate in a class action lawsuit against the formula companies and receive financial compensation for the harm that was done to your child.

Our lawyers are handling Paragard IUD removal lawsuits in all 50 states. Over 3,500 women have filed a Paragard IUD lawsuit claiming that they were injured when a design defect in the IUD caused it to fracture during removal and leave foreign objects inside their bodies.

These lawsuits allege the Paragard intrauterine device breaks upon removal because it is made with inflexible plastic and degrades before the device expires. Over 3,000 lawsuits have been lodged against Teva Pharmaceutical and CooperSurgical by women who encountered issues such as breakage during removal or implantation, or other complications associated with the Paragard birth control device.

This page provides the latest update on the 2026 Paragard lawsuit.  Our lawyers also speculate on the potential settlement value of a Paragard lawsuit if the litigation is resolved through a global settlement with the manufacturers. When could there be a settlement?  Soon.  These cases could be resolved by the end of 2026, with victims receiving payment in 2026 if the settlement is finalized quickly. Is that the most likely scenario?  We are cautiously optimistic, but after the first trial loss in February 2026,

This page examines Suboxone, its associated dental complications, and the subsequent Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits that occurred in 2025. 

What is the Suboxone lawsuit about? The lawsuit is about what Suboxone does to your teeth. The core of every Suboxone lawsuit is that the defendants knew of the risk of severe tooth decay and other dental injuries. They did not convey that risk to prescribing doctors or patients because they chose profits over people.

Unfortunately, our lawyers are no longer taking on new Suboxone cases in 2026.

A growing number of parents are pursuing a toxic baby food lawsuit to hold manufacturers accountable for their children’s exposure to harmful contaminants. These baby food autism lawsuits allege the manufacturers knew about heavy metals in their products, and children developed autism from consuming them.

Our lawyers are handling AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits around the country.

This page provides the most recent news and updates on the AFFF firefighting foam class action lawsuit and our prediction of the settlement amounts that plaintiffs with AFFF cancer lawsuits can expect to receive. You will not get more updated news on the AFFF litigation anywhere else.

Our AFFF firefighting foam lawyers believe the defendants will settle most of these lawsuits this year (2026) before a single trial.  Why? They will follow the same pattern as the water contamination lawsuits they settled for billions of dollars.  In those cases, we saw the defendants’ apparent preference for settlement over the uncertainties of a trial.  This makes sense; the AFFF lawsuits are strong cases.
