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.

Our lawyers are handling baby powder lawsuits in all 50 states in 2026. The talcum powder lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson have been ongoing for years. The lawsuits allege that prolonged use of talcum powder (or “talc”), the active ingredient in products such as Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, can cause ovarian cancer in some women.

This page provides an update on J&J talc powder litigation and discusses the settlement amounts in ovarian cancer lawsuits for victims.

Has the deadline passed for you to file a talcum powder lawsuit? Many who assume the statute of limitations has passed to sue Johnson & Johnson may be wrong.

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,

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.

Our lawyers are investigating Ozempic lawsuits for patients with NAION, gastroparesis or gastrointestinal conditions, including bowel obstruction or cyclic vomiting syndrome.

Ozempic is the popular brand name for semaglutide, a prescription drug approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. As we all know, Ozempic is also commonly used as a weight management drug. Recent scientific studies have shown that taking Ozempic, particularly at higher doses, can cause gastroparesis.
