If you or a loved one experienced pain, discomfort, or complications after receiving a BioZorb implant following breast cancer surgery, you are not alone. Across the United States, patients are taking legal action to hold the manufacturer, Hologic, accountable for the harm caused by this device.

The BioZorb implant, manufactured by Hologic, Inc., is a class II medical device first cleared by the FDA in 2012 under the 510(k) process. It is an implantable radiographic marker composed of a bioabsorbable material (polylactic acid) and six titanium radiopaque clips, which are designed to mark soft tissue sites during radiation therapy following breast cancer surgery. The device is intended to provide a three-dimensional marker for more precise radiation targeting while gradually dissolving in the body over time.

BioZorb works. But it has also been linked to several complications, including prolonged pain, discomfort, infection, device migration, and non-absorption. Many patients have reported the formation of hardened masses, scar tissue, and additional injuries at the implant site. The device has also been associated with increased radiation exposure and adverse reactions requiring further surgeries for removal.

A Tom’s Toothpaste class action lawsuit has been filed against Colgate-Palmolive Co. and Tom’s of Maine, Inc., alleging that their Tom’s Natural Kids Toothpaste contains unsafe levels of toxic heavy metals, specifically lead and arsenic.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Douglas White on behalf of similarly affected consumers, accuses the manufacturers of deceptively marketing the toothpaste as safe for children while omitting critical information about contamination risks.

We are learning more about more about the presence of heavy metals in consumer products, particularly those targeted at children. Lawsuits are following because many of these companies knew or should have known about the presence of toxic metals in their products companies failed to warn consumers or work to eliminate the toxic metals.  The focus before this has been on toxic metals in baby food.  Now, parents have to worry about tooth paste contributing to brain injuries.

Philips has been at the center of a legal battle following the recall of millions of CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices due to toxic foam degradation. The inhalation of foam particles, which may release harmful chemicals, has been linked to severe health conditions, including cancer, lung cancer, and other respiratory illnesses. Questions like “Can a CPAP machine cause cancer?” or “Can CPAP cause lung cancer?” reflect growing public concern, driving thousands of lawsuits against the company.

Philips recently agreed to a $1.1 billion settlement to address personal injury claims, with payouts expected hopefully in 2025. This settlement is separate from a $479 million class-action settlement for economic losses. Compensation amounts will depend on the severity of injuries, with cases involving lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and pulmonary conditions likely to see the highest awards but this remains to be seen.

People want to know what a CPAP per person settlement check might be. That is tricky to estimate in any litigation even after settlement. There are so many different types of injuries and we do not have numbers yet.  But here, our lawyers discuss this and give you a lens to our thinking of how these payouts could play out when there is a CPAP settlement points system.

Most class action lawyers will tell you 2024 was underwhelming.  The 3M earplug settlement was a disappointment.  Johnson & Johnson’s attempt to push talc claims into a third  bankruptcy did not catalyze a significant settlement. Hernia mesh has mostly settled but few plaintiffs have seen a settlement check.

In 2025, we expect more settlements in mass torts.  Roundup, Paraquat, and AFFF are all ripe for settlement in 2025.  Let’s talk about what is out there. Continue Reading
