WHY PEOPLE ARE FILING

If your child was born in 2011 or later, you might be affected by the over 100 pending suits regarding lead toxicity from recalled baby food pouches. According to the CDC, cases have been reported in numerous states including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. These lawsuits are part of a growing concern over the safety of baby food products. Fill out our form for a free case evaluation today.

The lawsuit alleges that several baby food manufacturers sold products contaminated with heavy metals, including lead, which can lead to brain damage. This damage may result in diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder or ADHD. Given the involvement of multiple brands, it's important to consult with parents to determine if their child consumed any of these products. We are seeking monetary compensation to hold these companies accountable.

This national lawsuit involves individual claims for each family. A special docket has been established in Federal Court for these cases, and you can find more information about it here:
