The Cartiva toe implant is a synthetic cartilage device used to treat arthritis in the big toe. New evidence suggests that these implants are defectively designed and prone to failures that can result in pain, further surgery, and other injuries. Cartiva toe implant lawsuits are now being filed by individuals who experienced a premature failure of their implant.

We hoped to see Cartiva settlement payouts by 2025 as part of a global settlement. That has not happened. Unfortunately, this litigation is dragging on. But these lawsuits could reach a settlement at any time. You want to submit a case before that happens. So, if you have a claim, call us or another lawyer sooner rather than later.

Not many of these lawsuits have been filed.   But there are many more cases out there, and that is likely to change if there is no settlement soon. If you have a potential claim, call us today at 800-553-8082 or get a free consultation online.

Emerging evidence suggests that long-term use of benzene-contaminated dry shampoo products may increase the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, and other forms of blood cancer. Our national mass tort law firm is now reviewing claims for individuals who used aerosol dry shampoo products regularly and were later diagnosed with any blood-related cancer.

A new study from NIH found that using chemical hair relaxers such as Softsheen-Carson Optimum, can increase the risk of uterine cancer by 150%.

The plaintiffs filing these lawsuits are alleging that the chemicals in hair relaxer products like Optimum caused them to develop uterine cancer (or related conditions such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis).

In this post, we will discuss the new evidence on uterine cancer and hair relaxer and the allegations in the lawsuits against L’Oreal regarding its SoftSheen Carson product line. We will also look at the potential settlement value of these cases.

New scientific evidence has established a link between female cancers (ovarian and uterine) and long-term use of chemical hair relaxers. Luster’s Smooth Touch and Luster’s Pink are two famous chemical hair relaxers/straighteners.
