Lawsuits are being filed across the U.S. claiming that cow-milk based baby formula has caused many premature infants to develop a serious gastrointestinal infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The basis for these lawsuits is that research has long shown that cow milk is associated with NEC in premature infants, and the manufacturers of formulas such as Similac and Enfamil should have warned doctors and parents of the risks. Our firm is currently seeking NEC formula lawsuits.  Plaintiffs who bring successful baby formula NEC lawsuit could receive significant financial compensation. 

Formula Can Cause Increased Risk of NEC in Premature Infants

Numerous women have brought lawsuits concerning vaginal mesh against multiple medical device firms due to injuries stemming from flawed transvaginal mesh implants. This article aims to outline the issues linked with vaginal mesh implants and their role in precipitating one of the most substantial mass litigation cases in history. Additionally, it will provide updates on the ongoing vaginal mesh class action lawsuit and offer insights into potential eligibility for individuals considering initiating their own legal action concerning vaginal mesh complications.

About Vaginal Mesh Implants

Vaginal mesh, also known as transvaginal mesh, represents a specific type of surgical mesh implant utilized to reinforce and bolster weakened or injured tissue during surgical procedures. These mesh products are tailored for female pelvic reconstructive surgeries, commonly performed to address pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence. These conditions arise due to the weakening of pelvic muscles, allowing organs such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum to descend into the vaginal area. Surgical intervention aims to repair and fortify these weakened pelvic muscles.

The Bair Hugger warming device has been a popular medical device used in hospitals for years. It is used to keep patients warm during surgeries, which helps prevent hypothermia and other complications. However, studies have suggested that the use of Bair Hugger warming devices during joint replacement surgery may increase the risk of infection.  These studies spawned thousands of lawsuits that evolved into the Bair Hugger class action lawsuit.

What Is the Bair Hugger Warming Device?

The Bair Hugger warming device is a forced-air warming system that was first introduced in 1987. It is a portable device that blows warm air through a disposable blanket, which covers the patient during surgery. The device is designed to maintain the patient’s body temperature, which helps reduce the risk of hypothermia and other complications.

The Bair Hugger was created in the 1980s by Augustine Medical, Inc., which was later acquired by Defendant Arizant Healthcare, Inc. In 2010, Defendant 3M Company purchased Arizant, including the Bair Hugger product line. The Bair Hugger is designed to keep patients warm during surgical procedures by blowing warm, forced air over the patient. It consists of a portable forced-air temperature management unit and a disposable Bair Hugger forced-air blanket, with 25 different styles available that vary in size and coverage, including partial or full coverage of the patient’s body, and some are used underneath the patient. The manufacturer markets Bair Huggers as a warming solution that can be used for various patients, from pediatric to geriatric, and for both short and long procedures. The marketing slogan for Bair Huggers is “Everyone Deserves a Hugg™,” emphasizing its suitability for everyone.

Product liability lawsuits are now being filed nationwide against baby food manufacturers. These baby food autism lawsuits allege that the manufacturers knowingly sold their products with unsafe levels of toxic metals and that the plaintiffs developed autism spectrum disorders from consuming them in their baby foods.
