boy-6536864_640-e1744671951359On February 20, 2025, Super 73 recalled its Z Miami SE and Z Adventure Core electric bikes because it was found that the e-bike’s disc brake calipers have a retaining pin that can disengage from the caliper assembly. This can lead to a failure of the brakes and serious accidents and injuries. The recalled e-bikes are models from 2024. If you were injured in an accident involving 2024 Z Miami SE (900-00288, 900-00309 and 900-00313) or Z Adventure Core (900-00308) e-bikes, call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group to determine your legal options.

Around 1400 units were affected by the recall. The impacted Z Miami SE e-bikes come in three colors: black with a black seat (“Bandit”), gray with a camel seat (“Palladium”), and orange with a black seat (“Astro Orange”). However, the impacted Z Adventure Core e-bikes come only in black and brown frame that is marketed as “Sandstorm.” If you have one of these bikes, you should look at the receipt you received when purchasing it to determine whether you have an affected model or color, which will be listed there.

The manufacturer Super 73 has gotten 21 reports of loose retaining pins and brake failure, and this has resulted in a minor injury. The e-bikes were sold in the manufacturer’s store in Irvine, as well as the manufacturer’s website other bike stores around the country between April 2024-September 2024.

lawn-mower-384589_640-e1744669896483Recently, after a three-week trial, jurors in a state court awarded $2 billion in punitive damages to a plaintiff who had sued Bayer-owned Monsanto and alleged that the company’s Roundup herbicide had caused his cancer. Around $65 million in compensatory damages was awarded for non-Hodgkin lymphoma that the plaintiff argued he developed after using the weed killer. This is one of the largest verdicts in a Roundup case—Bayer plans to appeal. If you developed cancer because you were exposed to Roundup, you should call the seasoned product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved around the nation.

Consult Moll Law Group About Your Claim

The plaintiff had used the herbicide in his own yard. Doctors diagnosed him with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2020. His case was brought with allegations that the active ingredient in the weedkiller was glyphosate, which caused his cancer. He argued that Monsanto failed to warn him that the product was dangerous. His case is one of more than 60,000 similar cases. Bayer has paid around $10 billion to settle claims that the herbicide causes cancer and has set aside $5.9 billion to address legal proceedings.

Bayer had acquired Roundup when it took over the agrochemical company Monsanto in 2018. The German pharmaceutical and biotechnology group acquired Roundup as part of its $63 billion takeover of U.S. agrochemical company Monsanto in 2018. In response to this latest verdict, the company said it disagreed with the verdict, and claimed it was in conflict with an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence to the contrary, as well as the consensus of numerous regulatory bodies around the globe. It plans to appeal. Bayer has also said that it may stop selling Roundup if lawmakers don’t strengthen legal protections against product liability litigation.

intravenous-141551_640-e1741659930879Recently, ICU Medical, Inc. voluntarily recalled certain lots of potassium chloride injection bags with overwrap labels. This came after a customer complaint was received that Potassium Chloride Inj. Bags that had overlap labels of 20 mEq, which incorrectly identify the bag as Potassium Chloride Inj. 10mEq. This mislabeling has the potential to cause harm. If you were harmed due to improperly labeled potassium chloride, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll La Group to determine your legal options. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved around the country.

Contact Moll Law Group About a Potassium Chloride Claim

The manufacturer has recalled certain batches of Potassium Chloride due to the possibility of mislabeling on product overwraps so that certain units are identified as 10 mEq instead of 20 mEq. When that incorrect overwrap is in place, the correct 20 mEq label fixed to the bag can’t be seen easily. This can cause serious problems.

If a health care provider calculates the patient’s dose of the medication using the 10mEq label, the patient will get an intravenous overdose of potassium chloride. This can lead to problems like death from cardiac arrest, dysrhythmias, hypotension, confusion, and neuromuscular dysfunction such as ascending paralysis, vertigo, mental confusion and vertigo. Various groups are at real risk for adverse or even fatal consequences; these groups include premature infants, patients who have had cardiac arrhythmia, patients who have had chronic renal insufficiency or acute renal failure, and patients on chronic  parenteral nutrition. However, it should be noted that there haven’t been reports of adverse events due to the mislabeling thus far.

As of February 21, 2025, 38 people have been infected by the outbreak across 21 states. On February 22, 2025, Lyons Magnus LLC recalled affected Prairie Farms supplement shakes and people were advised not to sell, eat or serve them. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), along with officials have been gathering data to figure out the causes of this outbreak. If you were harmed by supplemental shakes contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, you should call the knowledgeable Chicago-based food safety lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved.

Call Seasoned Moll Law Group About Your Supplement Shake Claim

As of February 21, 2025, 38 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from 21 states. Sick people’s samples were collected on dates ranging from August 17, 2018, to January 23, 2025. Of 38 people with information available, 37 have been hospitalized. Twelve deaths have been reported from California, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. Most people in this outbreak reported living in long-term care facilities or were hospitalized prior to becoming sick.

Not everyone reports when they’ve been affected by Listeria (and not everyone gets tested for it). Accordingly, it’s possible there are more sick people than were originally counted.

medical-5835701_640-e1741657233713Semaglutide in the form of drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Rybelsus and Zepbound may increase the risks of vision loss. These drugs are taken to manage type 2 diabetes and obesity and have the potential to help other medical problems like depression, addiction, and Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, it also appears that one of the drugs’ potential side effects is a rare kind of vision loss, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Around 12% of people around the country has taken semaglutide drugs and around 6% of Americans are currently taking them. No direct causal link has been established, but as popularity of these drugs grow, it’s important to be aware of this possible risk. If you suffered NAION while on Ozempic, Wegovy or another GLP-1 drug, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based dangerous pharmaceuticals lawyers of Moll Law Group.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Semaglutide Claim

Only a small group of patients taking semaglutide have experienced vision issues. A JAMA study, one of several studies, looked at 9 patients that had vision trouble while taking semaglutide.

NAION is a non-inflammatory disease in which the blood supply to the optic nerve is harmed and the patient suffers a sudden partial vision loss that’s permanent. The study was initiated because a patient experienced a painless vision loss while on the drug but had the issue resolve favorably when semaglutide was stopped; when he went back on, he had the same problem with the other eye. The researcher looked into whether other neuro-ophthalmologists had seen this in their patients and found nine cases that are featured in his study. Seven out of nine of the patients, all of them in their 50s and 60s, had typical presentations of NAION, which usually affects only one eye at once, but some had unusual symptoms. Researchers are trying to figure out whether being on semaglutide actually causes NAION and other vision loss.

courtroom-144091_640-e1736228223529This year, important actions will occur in a number of federal mass tort cases. These cases involve forever chemicals, social media, diet drugs, Bayer’s Roundup, preterm infant formula, ultra-processed foods, Depo Provera, and plastics. In some cases, mass tort lawsuits have survived a number of pretrial motions and will be going into further motion practice or to trial. Other legal issues, including the use of novel theories of law to establish companies’ liability, are making litigation this year complex and contentious. Give our attorneys a call, if you were harmed by any of the mentioned products. We represent clients across the country and billions have been recovered in lawsuits with which we’ve been involved.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Mass Tort Lawsuit

Mass torts are filed in civil court when there are many individual lawsuits against a defendant (or several defendants) for injuries arising out of the defendants’ similar acts or omissions against the various individuals suing. Often devastating injuries are involved.

Bayer’s Roundup Litigation

Over 50,000 claims have been made against Monsanto and Bayer, which acquired weedkiller Roundup when it purchased the former, for alleged defects in Roundup. The weedkiller’s active ingredient is glyphosate, which is carcinogenic. While Bayer did win most of the recent Roundup trials, there have also been verdicts that are collectively more than $1 billion, even in instances where they were reduced, which bodes poorly for the manufacturer. In 2020, Bayer settled certain Roundup cases for $10.9 billion, and it hopes to ask the Supreme Court to rule that federal law preempts these plaintiffs’ claims. However, many cases are still ongoing, and 2025 will likely see more trials, though it’s also possible another settlement will be reached.

agriculture-8275498_640-e1734908560378Roundup litigation continues. One of the more recent federal lawsuits in the Roundup lawsuits involves a widow suing Monsanto Co. on the grounds that Roundup, the herbicide/weed killer is “defective, dangerous to human health, unfit and unsuitable” and should not be marketed or sold. Her lawsuit alleges that use of Roundup contributed to her late husband’s death due to Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. If your loved one died due to Monsanto’s Roundup, you should call the seasoned lawyers of Moll Law Group.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim

The lawsuit alleges that Monsanto knew or should have known that glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in the weedkiller was linked with an increased risk of developing Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other types of cancer. According to the complaint, the manufacturer knew of the association all the way back to the early to mi-80s, and that since then multiple studies have revealed that glyphosate is carcinogenic. Accordingly, it’s argued in the lawsuit, the harm caused by Roundup was avoidable. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic as far back as 2015.

The plaintiff claims that the company downplayed the risks, too. The marketing language that she takes exception to compares Roundup to table salt in comments about its safety, and the complaint states that there is tremendous evidence to the contrary. Theories of recovery she asserts include strict products liability, negligence, and breach of implied warranties
