April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

How to Qualify for a Depo-Provera Claim:
Use of Depo-Provera
Diagnosis of Brain Tumor
Document Evidence
Submit The Form Above
Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control containing the synthetic hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate, is linked to an increased risk of meningioma, a rare brain tumor. This risk was not adequately disclosed to consumers or medical professionals. Studies, including those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), have shown that long-term use of Depo-Provera significantly raises the risk of developing meningiomas.
Claims against Pfizer, Inc., the drug’s manufacturer, alleges that the company knew or should have known about the increased risk of meningiomas—brain tumors that can cause severe neurological symptoms—especially with prolonged use. The claims state that Pfizer failed to adequately warn doctors and patients, rushed the drug to market without sufficient long-term studies, and prioritized profits over safety.
Due to the rising number of claims against Pfizer regarding Depo-Provera and brain tumors have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in federal court. Affected individuals may seek compensation for medical expenses, long-term care, and other damages, with the potential for federal court consolidation of cases.
Studies by the C8 Science Panel identified a probable link between PFAS exposure and an increased risk of kidney and testicular cancers. Communities near PFAS-contaminated water supplies showed higher incidences of these cancers.
Emerging research suggests a connection between PFAS exposure and liver damage, including an increased risk of developing liver cancer due to the bioaccumulation of PFAS in liver tissues.
PFAS chemicals can disrupt thyroid function, leading to diseases and an elevated risk of thyroid cancer. Even small amounts of PFAS exposure can interfere with hormone regulation.
Common Exposure Injuries:
If you have been diagnosed with any of these conditions after January 1, 2000, it’s time to take action. Our experienced legal team is here to help you determine if you qualify for compensation. By joining a PFAS lawsuit, you can seek justice and hold manufacturers accountable for their negligence.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals used in the manufacturing of countless everyday products due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil. Unfortunately, these chemicals do not break down in the environment or the human body, earning them the nickname "forever chemicals."
PFAS contamination is widespread, affecting drinking water supplies and accumulating in soil, wildlife, and humans. Nearly every American has detectable levels of PFAS in their bloodstream.
Non-stick cookware (e.g., Teflon)
Food packaging (e.g., fast-food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags)
Water-resistant clothing and fabrics
Stain-resistant carpets and furniture (e.g., Scotchgard)
Cosmetics and personal care products
Firefighting foams
These settlements highlight the significant legal repercussions for companies linked to PFAS contamination and underscore the ongoing concerns regarding the health impacts of these chemicals.
DuPont and Chemours Settlements:
2017 Settlement: DuPont and its spin-off, Chemours, agreed to pay $671 million to settle approximately 3,550 personal injury claims. These claims were linked to the release of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a type of PFAS, from their Parkersburg, West Virginia plant into local drinking water. The settlement followed findings by the C8 Science Panel, which identified probable links between PFOA exposure and several diseases, including kidney and testicular cancers, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and high cholesterol.
2021 Settlement: An additional $83 million was settled for cases filed after the 2017 agreement, bringing the total to over $753 million for personal injury claims related to PFOA exposure in drinking water.
3M Settlements:
2023 Settlement: 3M reached a $10.3 billion settlement with several U.S. public water providers to resolve claims of water pollution tied to PFAS contamination.
Tyco Fire Products and BASF Corporation Settlements:
2024 Settlements: In November 2024, Tyco Fire Products agreed to pay $750 million, and BASF Corporation agreed to pay $316.5 million to public water systems over claims of PFAS contamination in drinking water.
Hoosick Falls, New York Settlement:
2021 Settlement: Residents of Hoosick Falls reached a preliminary settlement of $65.25 million with Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics and Honeywell International. The lawsuit alleged that the companies contaminated the local water supply with PFOA, leading to various health issues among residents.
These settlements highlight the significant legal repercussions for companies linked to PFAS contamination and underscore the ongoing concerns regarding the health impacts of these chemicals.
