Read moreDepo-Provera Warning Label Gap: How US Women Were Left Unwarned While Other Countries Acted
France added meningioma brain tumor warnings to Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) in 2020 after a landmark epidemiological study confirmed a 3-7x increased risk. The UK, EU, and Australia followed. As of February 2026, the US FDA has still not required a black box warning — leaving American women without the safety information that women in other countries have had for years. This regulatory gap is the central evidence in Depo-Provera failure-to-warn lawsuits.

Read moreSexual Abuse Statute of Limitations Reform Tracker: All 50 States Graded
Fifteen states earn an A grade for eliminating or drastically extending the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse, led by California, New York, Delaware, Vermont, and Maryland. Conversely, eleven states earn a D grade -- including Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Ohio -- where strict deadlines as short as two years, absent discovery rules, and strong governmental immunity systematically fail survivors. Revival windows in states like Arkansas (open until February 2026) and Louisiana (open until June 2027) have created critical but temporary opportunities for survivors whose claims were previously time-barred.
