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.

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.
