This page examines AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits involving testicular cancer and their potential settlement value.

Aqueous film-forming foam (“AFFF”), which most people call firefighting foam, has long been used to put out fires fueled by gasoline and other chemicals. Firefighting foam contains high concentrations of PFAS, and new scientific evidence has linked PFAS exposure to certain cancer types.

Testicular cancer is one of the diseases that has been scientifically linked to occupational exposure to AFFF firefighting foam. Our lawyers like these cases. We think the link between testicular cancer and firefighting foam is overwhelming. Our attorneys also think these lawsuits have a strong chance of settling in 2024. If the defendants are going to target types of claims to settle, testicular cancer cases would be an excellent place to start.

One piece of future litigation that is interesting is processed food childhood diabetes lawsuits. Our law firm is not currently handling lawsuits regarding childhood type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease linked to ultra-processed foods. But the prospect of future litigation is interesting and worth talking about.

Ulta-Processed Food Diabetes Lawsuit Updates

This litigation is moving forward quite quickly.  Here is the latest news and updates:

This page will look at Saxenda cancer and gastroparesis lawsuits. Saxenda is a weight loss drug that is similar to Ozempic.

Our firm is currently investigating Saxenda cases from anyone who used Saxenda for at least 6 months and was subsequently diagnosed with gastroparesis. Contact us at 800-553-8082 for a free consultation or get a free case evaluation online. Continue reading

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 gastroparesis, contact us for a free case evaluation. Call us at 800-553-8082. Continue reading

Veozah (fezolinetant), a non-hormonal drug hailed as a breakthrough for managing menopausal hot flashes, was approved by the FDA in May 2023. Marketed as a safe alternative to hormone replacement therapies, Veozah quickly gained popularity among women seeking relief from debilitating vasomotor symptoms. However, the celebration was short-lived. Reports of severe liver injuries linked to the drug began to surface, prompting FDA interventions and spurring a wave of lawsuits.

Patients allege that Veozah’s manufacturer, Astellas Pharma, failed to adequately warn consumers and healthcare providers about the significant risks associated with its use. As the number of affected individuals grows, legal action is shedding light on the dangers of insufficient drug testing and corporate negligence.

NEWS and UPDATES:

In many ways, 2024 was an anti-climatic year in the world of mass torts. The 3M Earplugs settlement has been a disappointment for thousands of claimants. The rejection of J&J’s efforts to force the talc claims into bankruptcy has not prompted a major settlement and the hernia mesh claims continue to drag on. We did get a major global settlement in the AFFF litigation, but it only covered water contamination claims by local municipalities.

Let’s talk about what we can expect in 2025 in the mass tort class action lawsuits with the highest predicted settlement payouts.
