Lawsuit Information CenterThe Bair Hugger is a medical device that is used to keep patients warm and regulate body temperature during surgery. New research has shown, however, that the Bair Hugger increases the risk of infections by pushing bacteria into the body during surgery. This has prompted thousands of Bair Hugger infection lawsuits, which have been consolidated into a class action MDL. Continue reading

Philips CPAP Lawsuit Settlement
Our law firm was handling Philips CPAP machine lawsuits for injuries from the recalled Philips CPAP machine.
The Philips recall covered an estimated 3.5 million sleep apnea devices. A CPAP class action lawsuit with thousands of plaintiffs has been consolidated into a multi-district litigation (MDL-1230). So, every Philips CPAP lawsuit in federal court—filed in New York, California, Texas, or wherever—was consolidated in federal court in Pennsylvania.
After the settlement, we are no longer reviewing new cases.

Gerber Baby Food Lawsuits
This page is about Gerber baby food autism lawsuits and expected settlement amounts in these claims.
Current research and testing have shown that Gerber and other major brands of baby food contain dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury. These harmful metals cause health complications and neurologic damage in developing children. The development of conditions such as ADHD and autism may be linked to consuming these toxic baby foods.
Our lawyers are taking new cases from children (and their parents) who consumed contaminated Gerber baby foods and were later diagnosed with neurologic health conditions such as autism.
Video Game Addiction Lawsuit Settlements
Video game addiction lawsuits are gaining momentum as families and individuals come forward to seek accountability from gaming companies for the harm caused by gaming addiction. These cases focus on holding video game manufacturers accountable for exploiting vulnerable players, particularly minors and young adults, through intentionally addictive game designs. Gaming addiction has caused significant harm, including mental health struggles, social isolation, and financial strain, as companies prioritize profit over user safety.
Our attorneys examine the rise of video game addiction lawsuits and delve into key aspects such as the alleged failure to warn and the intentional design defects that make games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and Call of Duty so addictive.
While these lawsuits are still in their early stages, we focus on the heart of these cases: the significant injuries sustained by individuals and the potential settlement payouts, as financial compensation is central to resolving these civil claims. Below, we also explore updates on specific lawsuits, recent litigation trends, and eligibility criteria for filing a video game addiction lawsuit. We also look at the potential settlement value of these lawsuits if they play out as our lawyers expect.
Cartiva Implant Lawsuit
The Cartiva toe implant is a synthetic cartilage device used to treat arthritis in the big toe. New evidence suggests that these implants are defectively designed and prone to failures that can result in pain, further surgery, and other injuries. Cartiva toe implant lawsuits are now being filed by individuals who experienced a premature failure of their implant.
We hoped to see Cartiva settlement payouts by 2025 as part of a global settlement. That has not happened. Unfortunately, this litigation is dragging on. But these lawsuits could reach a settlement at any time. You want to submit a case before that happens. So, if you have a claim, call us or another lawyer sooner rather than later.
Not many of these lawsuits have been filed. But there are many more cases out there, and that is likely to change if there is no settlement soon. If you have a potential claim, call us today at 800-553-8082 or get a free consultation online.
Tylenol Autism Lawsuit
Tylenol autism lawsuits are being filed nationwide with a new Tylenol Autism class action lawsuit – technically an MDL, as we explain below – now certified in federal court. But, as we discuss below, that MDL is on the thinnest of ice although we do not know what the latest support from the government might do.
We encourage parents interested in bringing a Tylenol lawsuit to consider filing a toxic baby food lawsuit.
Update: The federal court cases are dismissed. There is an appeal. See the updates below, which discuss your options moving forward. There is also some hope for optimism based on recent events discussed below.
LA Wildfires Lawsuit
