Over the last few years, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. has been defending a series of class action lawsuits claiming that the company’s OGX line of shampoos and conditioners contains chemicals that cause hair loss. The lawsuits accuse J&J of marketing OGX hair products as safe and capable of repairing, nourishing, and reviving hair. According to the plaintiffs, however, these products contain chemicals such as formaldehyde and DMDM, which are harmful and cause hair loss.

This page is about lawsuits involving OGX shampoo. We give you many details here that our lawyers think may be helpful to you including the current status of the pending litigations. But our law firm is not handling these cases.

Our national mass tort lawyers are currently seeking and investigating Wegovy lawsuits for individuals who used Wegovy and subsequently developed gastroparesis or related health conditions.’

Wegovy (semaglutide) is the brand name of a prescription drug that is used for weight loss and weight management. Wegovy has been around awhile, but recent studies have found that prolonged use of this drug can significantly increase the risk of developing gastroparesis.

Until recently, the drug label for Wegovy did not contain any warning about the potential risk of gastroparesis. This has prompted a wave of product liability lawsuits alleging that the drug maker negligently failed to warn. Anyone who suffered gastroparesis after using Wegovy may be able to file a Wegovy lawsuit and get financial compensation.

Mounjaro is a diabetes drug manufactured by Eli Lilly. Recently, Mounjaro (and similar drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy) have become widely used for weight loss and weight management in obese patients. New evidence has emerged, however, showing that using higher doses of Mounjaro for weight loss can cause serious health problems involving the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal system. Mounjaro use has been linked to gallbladder disease, gallstones, gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), and other stomach conditions.

Eli Lilly apparently knew about these dangerous risks associated with Mounjaro but failed to warn doctors and patients about them. Individuals who used Mounjaro and suffered some of these injuries are now bringing Mounjaro product liability lawsuits. The national mass tort lawyers at Miller & Zois are investigating new Mounjaro injury cases. If you took Mounjaro for weight loss and suffered gallbladder or gastrointestinal problems, contact us for a free case evaluation. Call us at 800-553-8082.
