Last month, Hissey Mulderig & Friend published a new blog post on its practice website about the ongoing litigation concerning meningioma brain tumors allegedly caused by the Depo-Provera birth control shot.
- Depo-Provera Linked to “Significantly Higher Risk” of Meningioma Brain Tumors, Study Finds: A French national study found that women who used the injectable birth control shot Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) for 12 months or longer faced a five-to-six-fold higher risk of developing benign meningioma brain tumors, a condition linked to prolonged exposure to synthetic hormones like progesterone.
Hissey Mulderig & Friend added a new post to the firm’s Free Asbestos Testing website explaining that workers and families exposed to asbestos may qualify to file a bankruptcy trust fund claim
- Workers & Families May Qualify to File an Asbestos Bankruptcy Trust Fund Claim: Workers diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer from exposure before 1982 — and their spouses or adult children — may be eligible to file claims through asbestos bankruptcy trust funds. These trusts hold over $30 billion in assets, and claimants can often file with multiple funds to increase compensation.
On the firm’s JD Supra page, Hissey Mulderig & Friend also added stories about the litigation involving diet and diabetes drugs such as Ozempic and toxic substances that are linked to chemical exposure:
- Ozempic Gastroparesis Lawsuits Grow as Patients Report Severe Stomach Problems: Lawsuits alleging that the diabetes and weight-loss drug Ozempic, along with other GLP-1 medications, caused severe gastrointestinal damage — including gastroparesis or stomach paralysis — are increasing nationwide. Plaintiffs claim they were not adequately warned of these risks, and legal experts expect multidistrict litigation to be established.
- Top Toxic Chemical Lawsuits: Asbestos, Benzene, Roundup & More: Exposure to toxic substances like asbestos, benzene, cadmium, dioxins, fluoride, herbicides, lead, mercury and pesticides can result in serious health problems, including various cancers, organ damage and other chronic illnesses. Legal action may be available for those potentially exposed.
