​Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of manufactured chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s because of their useful properties.  However, these toxic chemicals have long been linked to serious health problems.  Lawsuits continue to be filed from individuals developing cancer from firefighting foam and alleging a handful of companies who knowingly sold firefighting foams that contained PFAS.

The plaintiffs argue the chemicals seeped into their bodies after years of wearing protective clothing and using firefighting foam that contained PFAS. The lawsuit blamed PFAS as a "substantial factor and proximate cause of the cancers, serious illnesses and bodily injuries" the firefighters suffered.​ The firefighters, along with the spouse of one of the firefighters who joined them as a plaintiff, accused 25 companies — including 3M, Carrier and DuPont — for manufacturing, marketing, distributing, selling or using PFAS and PFAS-containing materials in two types of equipment: turnouts, which are a type of coat, and Class B firefighting foam. 

​Approximately 2,500 victims of Firefighting Foam have filed lawsuits up through September 2022 mainly by firefighters exposes to PFAS. The Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (JPMDL) has ordered that all the Firefighting Foam Lawsuits are to be transferred to the United States Federal Court in the District of South Carolina for coordinated discovery and pretrial proceedings.

If your child consumed recalled baby formula and required medical attention, call a Baby Formula Lawyer Today

​On February 27, 2012 Abbott Laboratories, Inc. “(Abbott”) announced it was recalling powder formulas, including Similac, Alimentum and EleCare manufactured in Sturgis, Michigan, one of the company’s manufacturing facilities. The recall does not include any metabolic deficiency nutrition formulas. Products made at this facility can be found across the U.S. and were likely exported to other countries as well. Canadian health officials have also issued a recall warning.
​
Abbott is recalling these products after four consumer complaints related to Cronobacter sakazakii or Salmonella Newport in infants who had consumed powder infant formula manufactured in this facility.  The Company said its investigation is ongoing. ​If your baby was hospitalized after using Recalled Baby Formula or you have questions, contact Baby Formula Lawyer Timothy L. Miles about a Baby Formula Lawsuit today.

​The same day, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) announced it is investigating consumer complaints of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Newport infections. The FDA stated that in all of the cases are reported, each consumed powdered infant formula produced from Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis, Michigan facility.
​
The FDA further stated it was alerting consumers to avoid purchasing or using certain powdered infant formula products. The FDA further stated it was alerting consumers to avoid purchasing or using certain powdered infant formula products produced at this facility. ​

The FDA is advising consumers not to use Similac, Alimentum, or EleCare powdered infant formulas if:

• the first two digits of the code are 22 through 37; and 
• the code on the container contains K8, SH or Z2; and 
• the expiration date is 4-1-2022 (APR 2022) or later.

​The FDA stated it was investigating complaints of four infant illnesses from three states. All four cases related to these complaints were hospitalized and Cronobacter may have contributed to a death in one case. The FDA stated it has initiated an onsite inspection at the facility and its findings to date include several positive Cronobacter sakazakii results from environmental samples taken and adverse inspectional observations by the FDA investigators. A review of the firm’s internal records also indicate environmental contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii and the firm’s destruction of product due to the presence of Cronobacter. 
​
“As this is a product used as the sole source of nutrition for many of our nation’s newborns and infants, the FDA is deeply concerned about these reports of bacterial infections,” said Frank Yiannas, FDA Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response. “We want to reassure the public that we’re working diligently with our partners to investigate complaints related to these products, which we recognize include infant formula produced at this facility, while we work to resolve this safety concern as quickly as possible.”

​​In addition to the above, on February 28, 2012 Abbott additionally stated it was recalling one lot of Similac PM 60/40 (Lot # 27032K80 (can) / Lot # 27032K800 (case)) manufactured in Sturgis, Michigan.

To find out if your baby formula is subject to the recall, look on the bottom of the container for a product code that includes eight numbers or letters.

Then go to this website – www.similac.com/recall – where you can type in the code to see if your baby formula is on the list. If so, and your baby was hospitalized contact us about a Baby Formula Recall Lawsuit and see if you meet the Baby Formula Lawsuit Criteria.

​​The defective baby formula products contain bacteria that, if ingested, can cause a serious, life-threatening infection in young children. Any family that has Abbott products in their home should dispose of them and find a safer alternative for their children, one that does not jeopardize their health and wellbeing. Although there are only four cases of infections, it’s best to avoid the products entirely to ensure your child's safety.  If your baby consumed recalled baby formula call Timothy L. Miles today about a baby formula lawsuit.

Cronobacter sakazakii  is a bacteria commonly found in dry environments, like baby formula, and can cause stomach issues as well as urinary tract infections in people of all ages. However, when it’s ingested by a child two months or younger, it can result in more serious infections, like sepsis and meningitis. If your child exhibits any of the following symptoms after consuming a dry food product, you should seek medical treatment to ensure their safety:

• Fever
• Unusual patterns of crying
• Abnormally low energy
• Difficulty or refusal to eat

On the other hand, Salmonella Newport causes symptoms of foodborne illness, such as diarrhea, intestinal pressure, and vomiting. This type of bacteria is significantly more dangerous to children under three months of age, and an infant who’s infected with Salmonella Newport will exhibit the same symptoms as Cronobacter sakazakii. ​

​​If you notice that your child is exhibiting any of the symptoms mentioned above after consuming recalled baby formula, it is best to bring them to medical professional for a second opinion. The signs of a Cronobacter sakazakii or Salmonella Newport infection are very vague, and the behavior your child is showing could just be a coincidence rather than a severe diagnosis. However, you do not want to leave that up to chance, and by seeking medical attention sooner rather than later, you can protect your child from the consequences of an infection that has gone too far.

​There are basically two requirements in order to meet the Baby Formula Lawsuit criteria. If your child consumed Recalled Baby Formula and required hospitalization as a result, then you probably meet the Baby Formula Lawsuit Criteria.  To find out more, or to see if you meet the Baby formula lawsuit criteria, contact Baby Formula Lawyer Timothy L. Miles today for a free Baby Formula Lawsuit case evaluation. ​

If you suffered Paragard removal side effects or other Paragard removal symptoms, contact a Paragard Lawyer today

Some people who have used the ParaGard IUD birth control have complained that they suffered significant and unexpected complications when attempting to have the birth control device -removed. Some of the ParaGard removal side effects they have reportedly suffered include:

• Fractured/broken IUD
• Pieces of the IUD still embedded in the wall of the uterus
• Invasive surgery is needed to remove remaining pieces
• Hysterectomy

​​This is not all of the Paragard removal side effects, or other Paragard removal complications, just the most common that have been reported. If you suffered these or any other Paragard IUD removal complications, contact Paragard IUD removal lawyer Timothy L. Miles today about a Paragard IUD removal side effects lawsuit​.

​The Paragard IUD is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and has been around since the late 1980s. An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small plastic T-shaped device used for birth control. It is inserted into the uterus where it stays to prevent pregnancy. It is a small piece of flexible plastic shaped like a T. Sometimes it is called an IUC — intrauterine contraception. The Paragard IUD device has a specially designed copper coil connected to a plastic base. The device is implanted in a women's uterine cavity.

​ParaGard works using just 1 simple active ingredient which is copper. ParaGard works by preventing the sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg and may also prevent implantation. However, because ParaGard is hormone free, it will not prevent your natural menstrual cycle or stop you from ovulating each month. At first, periods may become heavier and longer with spotting in between as a result of the IUD.

​Paragard Is an effective long-term contraception which can be used by premenopausal women of all ages, including teenagers.  Some on the benefits of the Paragard IUD include that it:

• Can be removed at any time.
• Can be used while breast-feeding.
• Does away with the need to interrupt sex for contraception.
• Can remain in place for up to 10 years.
• Does not have the risk of side effects, for example, such as blood clots, related to hormonal birth control methods.

If you do conceive while using the Paragard IUD you are at high risk of having an ectopic pregnancy (a condition where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube.).  However, as noted by the Mayo Clinic less than 1% of women who use the Paragard IUD become pregnant and the risks remain very low over time. As a result, because the rate of pregnancy is so low for those who use the Paragard IUD, their rate of getting ectopic pregnancy is low than women who are sexually active but do not use contraception. 

​Additionally, the Paragard IUD does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Finally, as discussed below, there are the risks of experiencing Paragard removal side effects or other Paragard removal symptoms when you decide to have the device removed.​

​Paragard is not an appropriate alternative for everyone, and your doctor may discourage you from the Paragard IUD and urge to use another alternative if you have any of the following:

•  Uterine or cervical cancer.
•  Unexplained vaginal bleeding.
•  A pelvic infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
• Wilson's Disease (too much copper accumulates in your liver, brain and other vital organs.
•  An allergy to any component of ParaGard

Serious production defects have led to broken IUDs, with the breakage occurring either during the implantation process or during removal along with other Paragard removal symptoms. According to ongoing ParaGard IUD lawsuits, Teva was aware of the potential of Paragard removal side effect since 89.

​ParaGard IUDs are removed by a healthcare provider. IUDs should be removed when they expire (they typically last from 3 to 10 years), when the user wants to get pregnant, or after experiencing ParaGard side effects. Some typical ParaGard removal side effects include: light bleeding between periods, cramping, pain, and heavy bleeding during periods.​​ Several ParaGard IUD users have reported that the device can also reportedly break during removal, leaving part of the device embedded in the uterus, according to a report published in the Open Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports. Some of the complications caused by a broken or fractured IUD, or other ParaGard removal side effects, include:

• Broken pieces getting lodged in the uterine cavity
• Uterine infection
• Pain, cramps, and/or bleeding
• Perforation of the IUD through the wall of the uterus
• Broken pieces migrating to other organs

If the fragmented arms of the device break off inside the woman's body, they can cause various internal injuries.  Furthermore, if breakage occurs, it may require that the device be removed with serious invasive treatments such as surgery to remove any leftover pieces and total hysterectomy, which may result in infertility issues for those affected.  Note there may be other Paragard removal symptoms not listed here, you should check with a medical professional. If you suffered ParaGard removal side effects, call Paragard lawyer Timothy L. Miles about a ParaGard IUD Removal Side Effects Lawsuit.

​ParaGard IUD removal complications can be debilitating and interfere with a person’s quality of life.
​
ParaGard IUD removal complications may cause those affected to be hit with large medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages and other damages from having to take off from work to recover from their injuries.

A growing number of people are coming forward with allegations of serious ParaGard removal side effects and filing Paragard lawsuits.  Those who have suffered from ParaGard IUD removal complications should consider filing a ParaGard IUD removal side effects Lawsuit to seek compensation for their injuries, as well as compensation for other ParaGard users who suffered Paragard IUD removal complications.

​Belviq (generic name: lorcaserin) is a popular prescription weight-loss drug made by Eisai Inc. to help people experiencing obesity and weight-related health issues curb their hunger.  While it is not known exactly how Belviq works, the drug targets a hunger receptor in the brain and helps people fee full after easting smaller amounts of food and also seems to help people fee full longer.

Alarmingly, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety trial concluded that the drug could increase the risk of several different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancer.  Those individuals who participated in the clinical trial reported certain types of cancer with some types occurring more frequently in the lorcaserin group, including pancreatic, colorectal, and lung.  As a result, the FDA issued a full Belviq recall in February 2020.
​
If you or a loved one took Belviq, Belviq XR, or another brand of lorcaserin, and you were diagnosed with cancer, or other serios Belviq side effects, you may be entitled to file a Belviq lawsuit or be included in a Belviq class action lawsuit and receive compensation from the drug’s manufacturer. Fill out a free case review form to find out if you are owed money for damages and talk to a Belviq Lawsuit Lawyer about whether you meet the Belviq Lawsuit Criteria and are eligible for a  Belviq lawsuit today at no charge.

Belviq belongs to a class of drugs which includes Central Nervous System (CNS) Stimulants; Anorexiants; and Serotonin 5HT2C-Receptor Agonist. ​

​​Weight-loss drugs are not known for their safety; unfortunately, Belviq is no exception resulting in a Belviq recall. In a five-year, double-blind study of 12,000 patients, those taking Belviq were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than those taking a placebo (sugar pill). At the end of the five-years, the FDA found 7.1% of people in the placebo group developed cancer compared to 7.7% of people in the Belviq group who developed cancer.  The FDA stated, “A range of cancer types was reported, with several different types of cancers occurring more frequently in the lorcaserin group,” including:  Pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer; and Lung cancer.

​​Yes, evidence exists that Belviq causes cancer. A clinical review in 2012 noted it had been determined the drug could cause cancer in rats.
