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.

This page is about Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.

Our attorneys also provide the latest updates on the Zantac class action lawsuit (including the disastrous news that the class action judge dismissed all federal court Zantac lawsuits). This page was updated on April 21, 2026.

Zantac Cancer Lawsuit Updates 2026

The Zantac litigation has been a rollercoaster, filled with major victories, setbacks, and unexpected twists. From the initial discovery of NDMA contamination to the collapse of certain cases and the resurgence of others, this litigation has taken many turns.

If you swallowed a wire bristle from a grill brush or found a metal fragment in your food after cleaning your grill, you are not imagining things or overreacting. A wire bristle from a grill cleaning brush can break off during normal use, stick to a burger or hot dog without anyone seeing it, and end up in your throat, stomach, or intestines. These injuries can range from sharp throat pain and trouble swallowing to bowel perforation requiring emergency surgery.

The danger is not new. The CDC warned about grill brush bristle injuries years ago, after reports of people suffering internal injuries from tiny metal bristles that detached from brushes and were swallowed with grilled food. What changed in 2026 is that federal regulators took major action. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced large recalls involving Weber and Nexgrill metal wire bristle grill brushes because detached bristles can stick to grills or food and cause serious internal injuries that may require medical treatment or surgery.

Together, the Weber and Nexgrill recalls cover more than 13 million grill brushes. Weber recalled about 3.2 million brushes after reports of bristles detaching, including cases where consumers required medical treatment. Nexgrill recalled more than 10.2 million brushes after at least 68 reports or reviews involving detached bristles, including five reports of consumers swallowing metal bristles and needing medical treatment to remove them from the throat or digestive tract. If you or someone in your family was hurt after using one of these brushes, there may be a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

Ocaliva was supposed to protect your liver. Instead, for many, it destroyed it.

 Ocaliva was sold as a treatment for primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic disease that damages the bile ducts in the liver. It came to market with promise. It left the market under a cloud of serious liver injury, transplant, and death.

By late 2025, the FDA had withdrawn approval of Ocaliva after concluding the postmarketing evidence showed excess liver transplants and deaths, and did not verify the clinical benefit the company needed to prove. Intercept then pulled the drug from the United States market.

Prilosec and Nexium kidney damage class action lawsuits are still being filed around the country.

Thousands of Proton Pump Inhibitor lawsuits have been filed around the country by plaintiffs who allege that PPI drugs like Nexium and Prilosec caused them to develop permanent kidney damage, bone fractures, and interstitial nephritis. As of August 2023, there are nearly 13,000 Nexium and Prilosec kidney damage lawsuits pending in a class action MDL.  Settlement rumors in this litigation are swirling.

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 law firm is handling baby food autism lawsuits in all 50 states.

Several popular brands of baby food contain high levels of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium. These heavy metals are well-known neurotoxins. Thousands of children may have developed autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders due to toxic metals found in baby foods.

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. 

The Bair Hugger is a medical device that is used to keep patients warm and regulate body temperature during surgery. New research has shown, however, that the Bair Hugger increases the risk of infections by pushing bacteria into the body during surgery. This has prompted thousands of Bair Hugger infection lawsuits, which have been consolidated into a class action MDL. Continue reading

Our law firm  was handling Philips CPAP machine lawsuits for injuries from the recalled Philips CPAP machine.

The Philips recall covered an estimated 3.5 million sleep apnea devices. A CPAP class action lawsuit with thousands of plaintiffs has been consolidated into a multi-district litigation (MDL-1230). So, every Philips CPAP lawsuit in federal court—filed in New York, California, Texas, or wherever—was consolidated in federal court in Pennsylvania.

After the settlement, we are no longer reviewing new cases.
