Mass Torts to Watch in 2022

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

After a pandemic-induced quiet year in 2020, last year saw a lot of action on the mass tort front. In 2021, we saw $11 billion in Roundup settlements and over a dozen bellwether test trials in various MDL class action lawsuits.

It appears 2022 will be a very eventful year for mass torts. We have already seen important verdicts in the hernia mesh and 3M earplug class actions.

I started this post in January but revised it in May 2022 to keep everyone caught up on these product liability lawsuits. We could see global settlements in two or maybe three major mass tort MDLs, including the biggest of them all, the 3M Earplugs MDL.

Paragard IUD Lawsuits Settlement Amounts

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The Paragard lawsuits in the federal courts have been consolidated into a new Paragard MDL in the Northern District of Georgia. The crux of the class action Paragard suit is that the device is prone to break inside a woman’s body because the IUD is not sufficiently flexible.

In this post, we give a 2022 Paragard lawsuit update. Our lawyers also speculate on how much a Paragard lawsuit might be worth if the litigation is resolved in a global settlement with the manufacturers.

Elmiron Eye Damage Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are handling Elmiron macular eye injury lawsuits in all 50 states alleging that victims’ macular degeneration was caused by the use of the drug for interstitial cystitis.

Elmiron is the brand name for pentosan polysulfate sodium, a prescription drug that is used by millions to treat a bladder condition called interstitial cystitis (IC).

Pigmentary maculopathy is only known to be caused by long-term use of pentosan polysulfate sodium.

$2 Billion Verdict Leads J&J to Settle Talcum Powder Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The talcum powder lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson have been going on for years. The lawsuits allege that prolonged use of talcum powder (or “talc”), which is the active ingredient in products such as Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, can cause ovarian cancer in some women. This page provides a J&J talc power litigation update.

May 2022 Update:

Juries have found that J&J should not be selling talc products because they cause cancer. Not every jury. But J&J the baby powder litigation has cost J&J almost a billion dollars in legal fees and billions more in payouts via settlements and verdicts in baby powder lawsuits (some still on appeal). So maybe it is time to stop selling this stuff elsewhere in the world to preserve future profits and save lives?
