Call Moll Law Group About Your Grill Brush Claim

Nexgrill has become aware of a minimum of 68 reports and reviews that state that the grill brushes’ small wire bristles detached. There were five reports of people who swallowed the metal bristles and needed medical care to get the bristles removed from their throat or digestive tract.

The recalled grill brushes, which are between 18 and 21 inches long, and have the word “Nexgrill” on them, were sold at Home Depot and online at homedepot.com from 2015 through 2026 for $5 to $15. They have black plastic or wood handles.

The recalled models of the metal wire bristle grill brushes are as follows: Nexgrill 19-Inch Grill Brush (Model Number 530-0024); Nexgrill Grill Brush with Scraper (Model Number 530-0024G); Nexgrill Long Handle Grill Brush (Model Number 530-0034); Nexgrill Grill Brush and Scraper (Model Number 530-0039); Nexgrill Grill Brush with Scrub Pad (Model Number 530-0041); and Nexgrill Wood Handle Grill Brush (Model Number 530-0042).

Consumers have been asked to stop using the recalled brushes and to contact the company for a full refund in the form of a gift card. This remedy likely would not suffice in the case of someone who was injured by the metal bristles. In such a case, it may be appropriate to bring a product liability lawsuit. These types of suits are brought when a product is defective in terms of its manufacturing, design, or marketing. Our lawyers would need to establish a theory of liability; the available theories of liability vary from state to state, but could include strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty, breach of contract or statutory violations.

If our attorneys can establish liability for a defective Nexgrill brush, we may be able to recover economic and noneconomic damages on your behalf. Economic damages can include medical bills, lost wages, replacement services, and out-of-pocket costs. For example, if you needed to have a surgery as a result of a metal bristle getting stuck in your throat, you should be able to recover the cost of the surgery plus the time off work. Noneconomic damages include pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.

They come in the colors of purple, beige, and light grey and have quilted padding. Around 110,400 bassinets were affected by the recall.

It may be appropriate to pursue compensation by filing a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. These are lawsuits that are brought when a product, such as a bassinet, is defective in terms of its design, manufacturing, or marketing. Typically, it’s crucial to retain a knowledgeable expert or group of experts who can opine on whether the product has one of these defects and whether that defect caused your baby’s injuries or death. Generally, design defects are found in every unit of a product; the bassinet might have a design defect if the gap exists in every bassinet of that model. Manufacturing defects, meanwhile, are defects that occur only in certain units of the product; the exist because there has been a deviation from the specifications or design. Marketing defective often involve a failure to warn of dangers.

If our firm can establish liability for a defective bassinet that caused your injuries, we may be able to recover economic and noneconomic damages on your behalf. Economic damages for injuries to an infant may include the parent’s lost wages attending to the child’s injuries, medical bills, and out-of-pocket costs. Noneconomic damages may include mental anguish, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Amgen Claim

In its announcement, the agency stated that it had identified 76 instances of drug-induced liver injury and among those, eight deaths. The evidence suggests that these injuries may be caused by Tavneos. Among the injuries were seven cases of vanishing bile duct syndrome, which is a rare condition that can lead to permanent liver damage.

Tavneos is a medical treatment approved to treat anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, which is a group of rare autoimmune diseases that inflame small- to medium-sized blood vessels.

According to Amgen, the FDA requested that it voluntarily withdraw Tavneos from the market. Concerns had emerged during a re-evaluation of primary endpoint data for nine of 331 patients that were enrolled in a late-stage trial that supported its approval. The company decided not to withdraw the drug because, it said, it wasn’t aware of problems with the underlying patient data, and that it continued to support Tavneos’s benefit-risk profile. It continued to work with the FDA.

The European Medicines Agency has started a review of Tavneos on the grounds that information has emerged that raises questions about its study’s data integrity. In Europe and Australia, the Tavneos labels reference post-marketing cases of vanishing bile duct syndrome, but the United States labels don’t warn about it. Amgen has stated it requested that the FDA add vanishing bile duct syndrome to the Tavneos label, and that this request is still pending.

If you were adversely affected by Tavneos, you may be able to bring a product liability lawsuit. Pharmaceuticals and other products may be defective in terms of their marketing, manufacturing, or design. Most of the time, when the problem is not with the drug but with the marketing, it is considered a failure to warn case; in this case, it might be a failure to warn of vanishing bile duct syndrome. In most lawsuits, it’s necessary to retain an expert to opine on whether there is a defect and whether that defect caused injuries to a plaintiff.

The 4our Kiddies tip restraint kits, which has plastic tip restraints or furniture straps, were sold on Amazon.com from June 2019 through January 2026 for $6 to $21. They were recalled on March 26, 2026, because they may have a hidden defect.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has become aware of a minimum of 150 cases where consumers reported that the plastic tip restraint kits broke. Three of these cases involved tip-over accidents.

These kits contain two white plastic mounts, one of which attaches to the furniture and the other of which attaches to the wall where the furniture is located. They also include two drywall anchors, two types of screws, and a white plastic cable zip tie. Consumer Product Safety Commission testing found that the recalled plastic tip restraints do not meet the industry standard requirements for tip restraints. Furthermore, the plastic that the brackets, mounts and cable zip tie are made of can become degraded or break over time, which can result in furniture tipping and harming a consumer.

Knowing that you’ve installed a tip restraint may lull you into a false sense of security that your furniture will not tip over. Unfortunately, there is the potential for danger, perhaps even more serious danger, since you assume the furniture that is secured by the tip restraints is safe for your child to be around. Around 253,500 tip restraint kits are affected by this recall.

The company 4our Kiddies has asked consumers to stop using the 4ourKiddies plastic tip restraints and contact the company for a stainless-steel replacement tip restraint kit. Children should be kept away from the furniture that’s held to the wall by the plastic tip restraint kits while awaiting the replacement kit.

What if you or your child was already injured by a furniture tip-over as a result of the 4our Kiddies plastic restraints? It may be appropriate to bring a product liability lawsuit against the company. These can be brought when a product has a design, manufacturing, or marketing defect.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Cartiva Claim

Each of the plaintiffs was implanted with the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant. These implants, which are put in place during a minimally invasive 30-minute outpatient procedure, are supposed to provide a cushioning effect, and allow for the replacement of painful, damaged cartilage without fusion of the joint.

In their lawsuits, the plaintiffs alleged that the implant was defective and that, as a result, they suffered from persistent pain and limited range of motion after being implanted with them and then needed further surgery to remove the failed implants and fuse their arthritic joints. Their claims were for strict product liability, negligence, and breach of express and implied warranties.

Cartiva opposed the transfer. It argued that the plaintiffs had different theories of their injuries and that this would result in individual factual questions predominating over the common ones. It also argued, incorrectly, according to the Judicial Panel, that the plaintiffs were alleging different injuries. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, which heard the motion, clarified that all five lawsuits asserted pain and suffering not limited to the failure of the Cartiva SCI and the implant’s migration.

The Judicial Panel found that there would be common factual questions about causation, testing of the implants, whether Cartiva’s labeling was sufficient, Cartiva’s representations to the FDA while the device was being approved, and the circumstances of Cartiva’s eventual recall of the device.

The Judicial Panel determined that the five lawsuits involved common questions of fact and that centralization in the Eastern District of Arkansas would serve the parties’ and witness’ convenience, promoting just and efficient actions in the litigation.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Abbott Claim

In November 2025, Abbott issued a medical device correction, reporting that there had been 736 severe adverse events and deaths connected to certain affected glucose monitors. These events and deaths occurred on an international scale. When incorrect glucose readings go without detection, inappropriate treatment decisions for diabetic people may be made. For example, patients may consume excess carbohydrates or may skip or delay insulin doses.

Around 3 million Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus sensors from a specific production line, around half of which were used or have expired were affected. The FDA issued an early alert in December. In January, the FDA classified it as a Class I recall, which is the most serious type of recall, on January 14, a company spokesperson told Reuters.

These lawsuits can be pursued when a device is defective in terms of its manufacturing, design, or marketing. It is typically necessary to retain experts to review whether a product has defects and whether those defects caused the relevant injuries.

In the case, the residents of St. James Parish, which is located in an 80-mile stretch of industrial corridor called “Cancer Alley” alleged that local land-use decisions resulted in a disproportionate share of petrochemical facilities in communities that were majority-Black. St. James Parish was divided into numbered districts. Most residents in the Fourth and Fifth Districts of the Parish are Black, while most residents in the Third and Seventh District are white.

The Parish has also had about two dozen large industrial facilities within it. Twenty of the facilities were allowed in the majority-Black Fourth and Fifth Districts, but no new industrial facilities were allowed to locate in the majority-white parts of the Parish over the last 46 years.

In 2014, the Parish adopted a land use plan that designated large portions of the majority- Black districts as “industrial” even though lots of people lived in those districts. No buffer zone was provided for the Black churches and schools but there were buffer zones for the white areas. The plaintiffs asserted that this Land Use plan was evidence of continuing racial discrimination.

Initially, at the federal district court level, all claims were dismissed. The district court held that the plaintiffs didn’t have standing for certain claims; this means they didn’t have a legal right to pursue the case because they hadn’t suffered an actual, concrete, and direct injury. Other lawsuits were time-barred because they arose from the Parish’s 2014 Land Use Plan. Religious injury claims were also dismissed.

The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the dismissal. It found that the district court had incorrectly dismissed the claims as time-barred, since the plaintiffs were claiming ongoing discriminatory practices, not an isolated incident. The appellate court also determined the plaintiffs did have a legal right to bring a lawsuit for property injury and health related injury and that the plaintiffs had a legal right to sue under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and the Louisiana Constitution. The case was remanded for further proceedings at the district court level.

The case is under close scrutiny because it may have an impact on how other courts evaluate toxic torts cases that are associated with zoning decisions, exposure to pollution and community health impacts. Children, in particular, may suffer from greater exposure to industrial emissions in significantly industrialized areas.

The FDA regulates around 80% of the country’s food supply. The HFP looks over all activities connected to nutrition and food safety with an eye toward making sure that food goes toward wellness and health of the American public. The program looks at chemicals in food, reduction of diet-related chronic disease and foodborne illness.

The HFP has multi-year initiatives to the end of promoting American Health through nutrition. Some of these initiatives are concerned with removing petroleum-based dyes from food, review a range of food additives and ban them if they’re unsafe, and comprehensively review infant formula nutrient requirements.

The HFP has three focus areas, including food chemical safety. The Make Our Children Healthy Again strategy within this area is protecting the food supply from dangerous chemicals and additives. The expected results include GRAS reform, post-market safety reviews of marketed food chemicals, microplastics, closer to zero, adoption of natural color additives, consumer exposure to contaminants in food, and food regulation of new ingredients.

GRAS reform refers to updates to how “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) materials are handled. Currently, companies can include a GRAS substance, under the conditions of how it’s intended to be used, without review by or notice to the FDA. However, in 2026, the FDA is going to put in place a new regulation that will require manufacturers to require GRAS notices to be submitted to the FDA whenever a substance in the food item is claimed to be a GRAS. It is expected to be mandatory to notify the FDA by early 2026.

This means that the current manner of manufacturers determining safety for themselves will end. Additionally, the FDA is planning to reevaluate particular food additives, chemicals that are already of concern. The overall effect is that companies will have to reformulate their products and provide greater transparency for food additives included in their product.

Call Moll Law Group About Your BHA Claim

The FDA has instigated a strong program to go over the chemicals that are currently in the food supply. BHA was identified as a top priority for this program. Kennedy has stated that if BHA doesn’t meet “gold standard science for its current uses” it will be removed from the food supply—he also said that they would continue cleaning up other additives to try to reduce children’s exposure. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has said that once the BHA assessment is completed, a similar assessment will be launched to review butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and azodicarbonamide, which is used to condition dough and found in yoga mats. The Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods, Kyle Diamantas, assured the public that the post-market assessment of BHA reflects a proactive food safety approach.

In 1958, the FDA listed BHA as Generally Recognized as Safe. In 1961, it was approved as a food additive to stop fats and oils from spoiling. Today, it is found in potato chips, breakfast cereals, cookies, candies, ice cream, frozen meals, and meat products. The use of BHA has gotten lower in recent times, but it is still in food products like those marketed to kids. Health advocates have raised the possibilities that BHA is unsafe. It has previously been recommended for reassessment.

Post-market review of chemical additives in food has been named a key priority by the Make America Healthy Again Commission’s Strategy Report. In addition, the FDA has advanced draft rulemaking to reform its framework to try to drive greater food supply transparency.

If you were made ill and suspect it is the result of exposure to BHA or another chemical additive in your food, you should discuss what happened with a seasoned lawyer. We may be able to establish a food safety or product liability claim and recover damages on your behalf. Food can be defective in how it’s manufactured, designed, or marketed. Generally speaking, food that includes a carcinogenic additive is likely to have a design flaw; in most cases, an expert is needed to determine whether the flaw constitutes an actionable defect.

The Pew and Ipsos survey was conducted between October 10, 2025 and October 17, 2025. There were 5357 adult subjects. Results were high across self-identified demographic categories.

The purpose of the survey is to reduce exposure to dangerous chemicals that can disrupt the endocrine system, which produces hormones that affect human development like puberty, metabolism, childhood development, immunity, and reproduction. Certain chemicals increase the likelihood of multiple health impacts including infertility, preterm birth, reduced sperm quality, impaired brain development, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. These chemicals are found everywhere—in food, drinking water, construction materials and consumer products. Almost everyone in the country has detectable levels of chemicals in their bodies; these commonly found chemicals include phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and some flame retardants.

The government doesn’t oversee harmful chemicals to the extent that they could, and do not require transparency about what products they are contained in. 84% of survey respondents said that the government should do more to identify and regulate dangerous chemicals found in everyday consumer products. Likewise, 83% said that business that make chemicals located in everyday products can’t be trusted to make sure products are safe without governmental involvement. 83% want businesses to provide more information about chemicals found in their products.  to tell them more about the chemicals in their products.
