Liability Considerations in Sacramento
Sacramento families who fed their infants qualifying baby food brands between 2010 and 2023 benefit from California's strong discovery rule and minor tolling until age 20. Sacramento is home to the UC Davis MIND Institute — one of the world's premier autism research institutions — which has published foundational research on environmental contributors to ASD including heavy metal exposure. MIND Institute clinical evaluations are among the most comprehensive and scientifically credible ASD diagnoses available, providing an exceptional evidentiary foundation for legal claims. The Alta California Regional Center serves Sacramento and surrounding counties and maintains detailed records for children with ASD and developmental disabilities. Sacramento's diverse population includes significant communities with high WIC participation, and WIC records can document qualifying brand purchases.
