Product LiabilitySocial Media AddictionSocial media addiction among children and adolescents has reached crisis proportions in the United States, with the U.S. Surgeon General issuing two consecutive advisories identifying social media as a driving force behind the youth mental health epidemic. An estimated 95% of teens ages 13-17 use social media, with more than a third reporting they use it "almost constantly." The platforms at the center of this litigation — Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and Facebook — are precision-engineered behavioral systems that exploit developing brains through algorithmic content amplification, infinite scroll, autoplay, streaks, beauty filters, and notification systems designed to maximize engagement at any cost. Research shows that teens spending 3+ hours per day on social media face double the risk of anxiety and depression. MDL 3047 has consolidated over 1,600 cases, and the K.G.M. bellwether trial began in February 2026.Read the investigation
EnvironmentalParaquat Parkinson’sParaquat is a restricted-use herbicide manufactured primarily by Syngenta and distributed by Chevron Phillips Chemical and Growmark. Despite being banned in more than 70 countries including the European Union, China, Brazil, and Thailand, paraquat remains legal in the United States, where approximately 10 million pounds are applied annually. Scientific evidence — including the landmark Farming and Movement Evaluation (FAME) study published in 2011 — demonstrates that paraquat exposure increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease by 2.5 times. The mechanism is well understood: paraquat triggers oxidative stress through redox cycling, inhibits mitochondrial complex I, and selectively kills dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to the progressive motor and cognitive deterioration characteristic of Parkinson’s disease. MDL 3004 was established in June 2021 in the Southern District of Illinois, with approximately 5,000 cases pending. Bellwether proceedings and settlement negotiations are ongoing, with projected individual settlements ranging from $20,000 to over $1,000,000 depending on disease severity and exposure documentation.Read the investigation
EnvironmentalBaby Food Heavy Metals LawsuitThe baby food heavy metals litigation targets manufacturers who knowingly sold contaminated infant food. A 2021 House subcommittee report revealed internal testing showing arsenic levels up to 180 ppb, lead up to 886 ppb, and significant cadmium and mercury contamination. MDL 3101 in N.D. California consolidates over 3,200 cases as of early 2026.Read the investigation
EnvironmentalAFFF Firefighting FoamAFFF firefighting foam containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been used since the 1960s at military bases, airports, and fire training facilities across the United States. These "forever chemicals" do not break down in the environment and have contaminated groundwater, soil, and drinking water supplies serving millions of Americans. The C8 Science Panel established "probable links" between PFAS exposure and six diseases including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and thyroid disease. MDL 2873, consolidated before Judge Richard Gergel in the District of South Carolina, encompasses over 15,216 personal injury claims against manufacturers including 3M, DuPont, Chemours, Tyco Fire Products, and BASF. Water utility settlements exceeding $12.5 billion have been approved, and the personal injury track is advancing toward bellwether trials with Daubert motions and expert depositions underway.Read the investigation
EnvironmentalTalcum PowderTalcum powder litigation is one of the largest and most consequential mass tort actions in American history. More than 63,000 lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson and its talc supplier Imerys, alleging that decades of Baby Powder use caused ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other cancers. The litigation centers on two distinct but related harms: the carcinogenic properties of talc itself when applied to the perineal area, and asbestos contamination in talc products traced to mining operations. Juries across the country have returned billions of dollars in verdicts, including a $4.69 billion verdict in St. Louis (later reduced to $2.12 billion on appeal) and a $1.56 billion verdict in Baltimore in December 2025. J&J discontinued talc-based Baby Powder in North America in 2020 and globally in 2022, replacing it with cornstarch. The MDL 2738 in the District of New Jersey, now before Judge Michael Shipp, is coordinating federal proceedings with bellwether trials underway.Read the investigation
Product LiabilityZantac / Ranitidine (NDMA Cancer)Ranitidine, sold under the brand name Zantac by Sanofi and previously by GSK, Pfizer, and Boehringer Ingelheim, was one of the most prescribed heartburn and acid reflux medications in history. In 2019, the independent pharmaceutical testing laboratory Valisure discovered that ranitidine is inherently unstable and produces NDMA — N-nitrosodimethylamine, a probable human carcinogen — at levels up to 304,500 nanograms per tablet. The FDA acceptable daily intake limit for NDMA is 96 nanograms. In April 2020, the FDA requested that all manufacturers withdraw ranitidine products from the U.S. market. Consumers who took Zantac regularly for a year or more and subsequently developed bladder, stomach, colorectal, breast, prostate, or esophageal cancer may have viable legal claims. A federal MDL in the Southern District of Florida was dismissed in November 2022 when Judge Robin Rosenberg excluded plaintiffs' general causation experts under Daubert, finding their methodologies unreliable. However, that ruling applies only to federal court and does not bind state courts. Litigation continues in Delaware Superior Court and California state courts in 2026, where different expert standards and case-specific evidence can support claims.Read the investigation

$2.12B
Talcum Powder
A St. Louis jury awarded $4.69 billion to 22 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using J&J talcum powder products, including $4.14 billion in punitive damages and $550 million in compensatory damages. The Missouri Court of Appeals later reduced the award to $2.12 billion by striking the claims of plaintiffs without sufficient connection to Missouri. Even after reduction, the Ingham verdict remains one of the largest product liability awards in American history and established the template for multi-plaintiff talc trials.

$2.1B
Roundup
A Georgia jury awarded $2.1 billion to a plaintiff diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after extensive Roundup exposure — the largest individual Roundup verdict to date. The verdict came after the Supreme Court declined to hear Bayer’s preemption defense, signaling continued legal exposure for the company. Bayer settled the case in November 2025 while it was on appeal.

Talcum Powder
A Baltimore jury returned the largest single-plaintiff talcum powder verdict in history, awarding $1.56 billion to plaintiff in Craft v. Johnson & Johnson. The award comprised $1 billion in punitive damages against J&J, $500 million in punitive damages against Pecos River Talc (a J&J-affiliated entity), and $59.84 million in compensatory damages. The verdict reflected the jury’s response to evidence of J&J’s decades-long concealment of asbestos contamination and cancer risk in its Baby Powder products.
