Lawsuits to Protect Our Kids

A Case for Women

What Kinds of Lawsuits Deal with Our Kids?

Unfortunately, we are seeing a lot more instances of corporate wrongdoing affecting our kids. This includes everything from online sextortion and vaping to baby formula and lead-containing baby foods. We’ve been helping moms fight cases like these:

JUUL

E-cigs (vapes) by JUUL misrepresented products to minors as a healthier, less addictive alternative to traditional nicotine cigarettes.¹ Thousands of lawsuits accuse the company of promoting the product to minors. >>

NEC

Baby formula giants claim their cow’s milk-based brands are “like breast milk,”² but the risk to preemies of developing NEC, a potentially fatal illness, is severe. >>

Roblox

When kids enter this virtual universe, they are vulnerable to sexual predators,^{3, 4} + sexual exploitation or worse. >>

STIIIZY THC Pens

“This isn’t the cannabis of 20, 30 years ago,” said Dr. Deepali Gershan, a Chicago addiction psychiatrist, who believes up to 20% of her cases are patients whose psychotic episodes were triggered by cannabis/ THC use.⁵ >>

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs)

Food giants make “chemical recipes” filled with salt + sugar + fillers to boost taste and addiction. Too often they are marketed as “healthy” when they hike up the risk of illnesses like type 2 diabetes. >>

Video Game Addiction

Multiple industry leaders have built casino tactics/ addictive reward systems into every game.⁶ Now our kids are suffering addiction as well as physical and mental illnesses. >>

It’s hard enough raising kids, but now we have to protect them from corporations that should’ve known better. These civil lawsuits are designed to stop the harm and help families heal.

What Should You Expect from Civil Litigation?

If you’re a mom or caregiver who is heartbroken, angry, and looking for options after your child was hurt, you may have legal options.

Say your child’s personality has morphed dramatically from obsessive gaming or suffered a health crisis from using THC or e-cigarettes, we’re here to help you use your voice to fight back, no matter how big the Goliaths are.

Meanwhile, these tips are important:

SOL (statute of limitations): Each state sets a time frame for how long you have to make a formal complaint after you or your child is hurt.

OUTCOMES: Understanding what the experts anticipate can be insightful. When you contact us, we’ll talk through any specific questions you may have.

In civil cases, outcomes customarily include financial awards for survivors and forcing wrongdoers to overhaul their policies + procedures: voluntary improvements never happen. Our ultimate goal is to catalyze change in systems accustomed to lax regs or indulgent self-regulation. These lawsuits matter.
