The Bard PowerPort (“BardPort”) is a port catheter device implanted just under the skin to allow for easy attachment to a catheter for the intravenous delivery of fluids or medication.

The Bard PowerPort has inherent design and manufacturing flaws that make the device prone to fracturing and migrating out of position. This can cause severe injuries, including internal vascular damage.

Individuals who suffered injuries due to a defective Bard PowerPort device are now bringing product liability lawsuits against the manufacturer of the PowerPort implants. Our firm is currently accepting new cases from anyone who had a Bard PowerPort port catheter device implanted and was injured due to a fracture, migration, or other implant failures.

Video game addiction lawsuits are gaining momentum as families and individuals come forward to seek accountability from gaming companies for the harm caused by gaming addiction. These cases focus on holding video game manufacturers accountable for exploiting vulnerable players, particularly minors and young adults, through intentionally addictive game designs.

Gaming addiction has caused significant harm, including mental health struggles, social isolation, sleep disruption, academic decline, financial strain, and family conflict. The lawsuits allege that gaming companies prioritized profit over user safety by designing games to keep children and young adults playing longer, spending more money, and returning even when the games were harming them.

Our attorneys examine the rise of video game addiction lawsuits and key allegations such as failure to warn and intentional design defects that make games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Apex Legends, Madden, FIFA, and other online games so addictive.

On this page, our national mass tort lawyers look at Call of Duty video game addiction lawsuits. We look at the features of Call of Duty that plaintiffs allege are intended to make the game highly addictive, Activision’s alleged failure to warn about the addictive nature of the game, the harmful effects of video game addiction, and the potential settlement value of these cases.

This page is not a review of Call of Duty. We are not here to rank the game, talk about graphics, or debate whether it is fun. The legal issue is whether Activision and the developers of Call of Duty designed and marketed a product that can cause foreseeable harm to minors and young adults, and whether they failed to warn families about that risk.

Our lawyers contend that Call of Duty addiction lawsuits are product liability cases. Activision is not being sued because Call of Duty is popular. It is being sued because plaintiffs allege the game was engineered with reward loops, progression systems, microtransactions, battle passes, social pressure, and endless online competition that can push vulnerable users into compulsive play.

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 is about social media addiction lawsuits and who is eligible to bring a claim. Our lawyers also provide the latest news on social media class action lawsuits (including the ongoing trial in California).

The problem that led to social media lawsuits is that millions of people, too many of whom are children, are addicted to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others. For these vulnerable users, social media addiction can be very harmful and lead to things like eating disorders, depression, and, in some cases, suicide.

Now, these companies are facing a wave of new social media lawsuits alleging that they knowingly designed the algorithms of their platforms to lure young people into harmful addictions.

This page provides updates on Camp Lejeune lawsuits. Our lawyers are still working to give the latest update on the litigation, even though we are no longer taking new cases. Why? Because there is little information out there, and we are staying with victims, including those we do not represent, until the end.

We have also recently reopened the comments below to answer any questions you may have or simply give you a chance to share your thoughts.

Latest Camp Lejeune Lawsuit Updates for 2026

Our lawyers are helping victims who want to bring a Gardasil HVP vaccine lawsuit throughout the United States.  Our law firm is particularly focused on ovarian failure cases that lead to infertility in women who have taken Gardasil in the last few years.

Gardasil is a vaccine intended to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), which can sometimes lead to cervical cancer in women. Gardasil was developed by the embattled pharmaceutical company Merck & Co.

Merck obtained FDA approval for Gardasil in 2006 based on deceptive research and clinical trials that misrepresented the vaccine’s efficacy while concealing its safety risks and side effects. Merck then launched an aggressive and highly misleading marketing campaign to include millions of parents vaccinating their pre-teen daughters with Gardasil.

Consumer product safety testing has confirmed that several aerosol dry shampoo products contained dangerously high levels of benzene, a known human carcinogen. That discovery led to product recalls, consumer class action lawsuits, and continuing questions about whether long-term use of benzene-contaminated dry shampoo can increase the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, and other blood-related cancers.

This page explains the dry shampoo lawsuits, the benzene testing, the product recalls, the current Unilever and IGK settlement status, the list of products involved in recalls or litigation, and the potential value of dry shampoo cancer claims.

We provide this page solely to educate consumers and potential victims about the litigation, the science, and the issues that drive these cases.
