baby-303068_640-e1725046388388Recently, the Consumer Products and Safety Commission (CPSC) warned consumers, parents, and guardians not to use certain loungers made by Ningbo Tree Nest Children Products because they pose risks of suffocation, fall, and entrapment. The warning pertained to Mamibaby, Yoocaa, DHZJM, Cosy Nation & Hyhuudth loungers. There have been five infant deaths reported. If your baby was injured or killed because of getting entrapped or suffocated or suffering a fall from the lounger, you should discuss the viability from bringing a lawsuit with the experienced Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved.

It’s important to immediately stop using the loungers Mamibaby, Yoocaa, DHZJM, Cosy Nation & Hyhuudth that were made by Ningbo Tree Nest Children Products. Do not dispose of the product if your baby was injured or killed, as the product itself could be valuable evidence, but put it someplace safe and be sure not to use it. The CPSC has warned that even though these loungers have been advertised as sleep products, they create a dangerous sleep environment, presenting suffocation, entrapment, and falls for infants.

The Mamibaby baby lounger was sold at Walmart.com. There is a Mamibaby tag sewn on the cover for the baby lounger, which should help you identify it. “Sleeping set” tags have also been sewn the lounge covers for this lounger. Meanwhile, Yoocaa baby loungers have been sold on Amazon.com. You can identify these based on the manufacturer label on Yoocaa baby lounger packaging, as well as by the “Sleeping Set” tag that’s sewn on the lounger cover. Similarly, the DHZJM baby lounger, sold on Amazon.com, can be identified by a tag identifying the manufacturer on the lounger and cover. “Sleeping set” will also be sewn on the cover. Both the Hyhuudth and Cosy Nation Baby loungers, also found on Amazon.com, can also be identified according to tags on the lounger and cover.

ammunition-2004236_1280-e1725046127872There have been a surge of shootings that may be the result of a defect in Sig Sauer P320. These incidents have happened unexpectedly and caused pain and devastation. For instance, a military sergeant was talking to his supervisor, when another soldier tried to get past him. The sergeant and soldier’s gun holsters clanked against each other, and the gun went off—the sergeant’s own gun, a Sig Sauer’s P320, had fired without him pulling a trigger, and a bullet hit him in the ankle, causing serious injuries that required him to undergo six months of rehabilitation and surgery. A number of lawsuits have been filed against Sig Sauer for what plaintiffs believe is a design or manufacturing flaw in which people can be shot without anyone pulling the trigger. If you were injured by a Sig Sauer gun, please call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in lawsuits with which we’ve been involved, around the country.

Call Experienced Lawyers at Moll Law Group About Your Claim

The Sig Sauer P320 is one of the country’s most popular pistols. More than 2.5 million guns have been sold and the manufacturer promises a commitment to safety without compromise. However, it has also been the subject of numerous lawsuits concerning alleged design and manufacturing defects that make it more susceptible to accidentally going off and injuring people, often the owners themselves.

There have 9 separate incidents at United States military bases between September 2020-June 2023. Records that have been obtained indicate that guns alleged fired unintentionally at various United States military bases across the world. Even so, the manufacturer claims this gun isn’t capable of firing without a trigger pull. Likewise the Army denies that the guns had defects, claiming that they were comprehensively tested and worked fine. In fact, the Army adopted this gun as a standard issue sidearm for soldiers, in 2017. Almost 500,000 continue to be in service without restrictions and worn on the hips of military servicemembers.

charcuterie-338498_640The listeria outbreak arising from Boar’s Head deli meat this past spring has resulted in the deaths of six more people and injuries to more than a dozen more people. Reports are from across 18 states, and it’s suspected that there may be more Boar’s Head injuries and fatalities to come to come. In total, so far, nine people have died, while 57 have needed to be hospitalized as a result of the outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called this the largest listeria outbreak since one that affected cantaloupe in 2011, which caused 30 deaths. As we let you know previously this summer, Boar’s Head recalled Strassburger Brand Liverwurst based on listeria concerns. Later the recall was expanded to 3,600 tons of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that were sold under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brands. If you suffered injuries due to Boar’s Head deli meats, or a loved one died , you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in lawsuits across the country with which we’ve been involved.

Consult Moll Law Group About Your Boar’s Head Deli Meat Claim

Listeria bacteria survives refrigeration. It can spread around food, hands, surfaces, and equipment used to handle them. Federal officials have urged consumers to check their refrigerators for products, which may have sell-by dates that run into October of this year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has disclosed appalling conditions at the factory where the affected meat was produced. Insects, mold, mildew, and standing water, all of which make a hospitable environment for listeria, were found throughout the production facility. The method that Boar’s Head used to control for listeria is considered by some knowledgeable officials as the least reliable.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has advised consumers not to eat any recalled Boar’s Head products and to look into their refrigerators to make sure they don’t have affected products.  Consumers are advised to look for “EST.12612” or “P-12612” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product labels. Some of the products have sell-by dates that last until October 2024. A listeria infection may cause symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, muscle aches, chills, and fever. When an infection spreads to the nervous system, the result may be headache, convulsions, loss of balance, and a stiff neck.

dark-2562840_640A new study has found that dark chocolate and other similar cocoa items are contaminated with cadmium and lead. These metals are neurotoxins and they’ve been linked to developmental issues in children, chronic diseases, and cancer. In a sense, because they are in the soil where crops are grown, these heavy metals are present in many different agricultural products, but some crops are more contaminated because there is excessive use of metal-containing fertilizers or proximity to pollution. Chocolate is grown on land that is less contaminated and where fewer pesticides are used. Yet, the journal Frontiers in Nutrition has found that organic dark chocolate—so often recommended by health magazines for certain beneficial properties—contains some of the highest levels of cadmium and lead. If you believe you or your child was harmed by contaminated dark chocolate, contact the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group. Our firm represents consumers around the country.

The new study evaluated test results for 72 consumer cocoa products, tested by Consumer Labs at various laboratories, over an eight-year-period in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 to determine their levels of cadmium, lead and arsenic. The new study analyzed six dozen consumer cocoa products for levels of lead, cadmium and arsenic. Levels of arsenic were insignificant.

sausage-933720_640-e1724040052382There have been three deaths and fifty illnesses requiring hospitalization nationwide in a listeria outbreak tied to Boar’s Head deli meats that started in May. In response to reports that health officials had tested Boar’s Head liverwurst samples and confirmed that the same strain of listeria existed in both, on July 30, the company recalled 7 million pounds of the 70 deli meat products it manufactures and markets, which were made at the Virginia company plan. It has been sued twice in different states; one lawsuit was filed in a Missouri court and the other is a federal class action suit in New York. Stores around the country sold these products, as did stores in Panama, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Cayman Islands. If you were harmed by Boar’s head deli meats, please call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved, and we represent consumers around the country.

One of the lawsuits has been brought by an 88-year-old retired psychotherapist and her husband who had greatly enjoyed Boar’s head braunschweiger from their grocery deli for years. The psychotherapist had loved liverwurst all her life, and as a result of a listeria infection spent nine days in the hospital and 11 days in a rehabilitation center. These are costly expenses. The class action lawsuit alleges that Boar’s Head improperly and deceptively marketed its deli products alleges that the company improperly and deceptively marketed its products.

The median age of victims in the listeria outbreak is 74, but their ages range from 32 to 84. Boar’s Head initial recall of the meats was on July 25th, but then this recall was expanded on July 30, to include its 70 products.

treatment-4099432_640-e1721672084835Sentinel events are significant medical mistakes that affect patient safety and result in severe temporary harm, permanent harm, or death. The data compiled by the Joint Commission for 2023 found that sentinel events were close to 2022’s record high. In 2023, there were 1411 reported and reviewed events. Of these, eighteen percent led to patient death. Fifty-seven percent led to severe temporary harm. Eight percent resulted in permanent harm. Twelve percent of these patients had to stay for an extended period in the hospital and go through more treatment. If you or a loved one experienced a sentinel event, you may be entitled to compensation. The experienced Chicago-based medical malpractice lawyers of Moll Law Group may be able to represent you.

Call Moll Law Group for a Consultation

Most sentinel events are preventable. They can be the result of miscommunications, teamwork failures, and failure to adhere to standard policies and procedures. As in the previous 5 years, the 2023 data revealed that the most frequent sentinel events during 2023 were falls. They comprised 48% of all the sentinel events the Joint Commission reviewed. They were up 6 percentage points from falls in 2022. And in 2019, by contrast, patient falls only made up 18% of the sentinel events.

Other sentinel events included wrong-site surgery, wrong procedures, wrong patients operated upon, foreign objects left behind during procedures, sexual assaults, rapes, assaults, homicides, treatment delays, suicide, fire, burns, mismanagement of medications, self-harm, and perinatal events. Wrong surgeries (all three types of wrong surgeries) constituted 8% of sentinel events for 2023, as did two other categories, foreign objects left behind in the patient and crimes like rape, sexual assault, assault and homicide. Most of these 1358 events were voluntarily self-reported to the Joint Commission, either by a certified or accredited entity. The rest of the 53 sentinel events were reported by patients, anonymous sources or employees of the providers.

church-750251_640The Illinois Attorney General’s Office has released a 2023 report on clergy abuse. In his introduction to the report, AG Kwame Raoul laid out the numbers. The Catholic diocese in the state had publicly listed only 103 substantiated child sex abusers prior to the initiation of the Office’s investigation in 2019. The new report specifies that 451 Catholic clerics and religious brothers were found to be perpetrators. Their victims amounted to a minimum of 1997 children in diocese across the state. If you were the victim of clergy abuse, you may be entitled to compensation. Call the seasoned Chicago clergy abuse lawyers of Moll Law Group to determine your legal options.

Contact Moll Law Group About Your Claim

The AG Office’s investigation has led to significantly greater transparency around the scope of clergy abuse. In the last two decades, it’s become increasingly clear that dioceses across the country and around the world purposefully shuffled priests reported to be sexual abusers of children to different parishes once there was a complaint. This resulted in many more children being abused. Knowing this information has allowed survivors not only to come forward and receive care but has also allowed justice to be sought against individual perpetrators and the authorities and system that shielded their grotesque behavior. Often child sex abusers were hiding in plain sight, as Raoul notes. Prior to progressive laws removing the statute of limitation many were left unable to hold their abusers accountable in civil court. This report allows for public accountability and may lead to healing for survivors.

The AG’s Office investigated all six of the Catholic diocese in Illinois, including in Chicago, Belleville, Joliet, Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield. When the investigation started, only two dioceses had posted a list of substantiated abusers on their website, with the Archdiocese of Chicago listing 68 abusers and the Diocese of Joliet listing 35 abusers, but a few months in, the other four dioceses also posted lists of substantiated abusers. Additionally, a clergy abuse hotline was set up. The investigators engaged in over 600 confidential contacts with survivors of child sex abuse by Illinois Catholic clerics.

critical-days-4924460_640-e1721669984617The average person who menstruates spends around five years of their lifespan using around 11,000 menstrual products, including tampons. A new study led by Jenni A. Shearston a postdoctoral scholar from UC Berkeley found that tampons from several brands that millions use can be contaminated with the toxic metals lead, cadmium and arsenic. This finding is alarming because the skin of the vagina has the ability to absorb chemicals better than skin in other locations on the body. Up to 80% of people who menstruate use tampons for hours on end. If you believe you were harmed by contaminated tampons, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group.

Discuss a Claim With Moll Law Group

Shearston believes that theirs is the first paper to look at how much metal is in tampons. Metal can increase risks of cancer, diabetes, infertility, and dementia. The brain, kidneys, liver, and related systems can be severely damaged. Plus, fetal development can be harmed. What is disturbing in this case is that there were concentrations of lead, arsenic, and all other metals tested for in the tampons.

Thirty tampons from 14 brands were tested for the presence and level of 16 metals. These metals were zinc, vanadium, strontium, selenium, lead, nickel, mercury, manganese, iron, copper, chromium, cobalt, cadmium, calcium, barium, and arsenic. The amounts of metals found were different based on whether products were purchased in the United States or Europe and the U.K, and based on whether the tampon was organic or nonorganic. There was no category of tampon—including organic tampons—that consistently showed lower concentrations of most metals. The presence of these metals can place women at higher risk for exposure because they use menstrual products.

beach-umbrella-1984703_640-e1721669611892The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning that airborne beach umbrellas can kill explaining that incidents with these umbrellas have become “all too common.” Wind gusts have pulled up beach umbrellas on crowded beaches and sent them hurtling towards people. The results have been deaths and serious injuries like lacerations and impalements. There is now a voluntary safety standard to assist manufacturers in making sure that the danger is minimized. If your loved one was killed or you were injured by a beach umbrella that went flying, you may be able to recover compensation. The seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group can go over your legal options.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Beach Umbrella Claim

The new voluntary safety standard ASTM F3681-24 requires that beach umbrellas and their anchor systems, along with beach umbrellas that are used with complaint anchors need to offer a resisting force of at least 75 pounds. Alternatively, they need to stay secure in wind speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, when the compliant anchor is secured in the sand.

Its expected that products compliant with this safety standard will be available soon. Consumers should look at the labels of anchors, which will state whether it meets the new safety standard by indicating that it “MEETS ASTM F3681 FOR WIND SPEEDS UP TO 30 MPH.” This will also set forth the maximum canopy size for an umbrella used with the anchor.

man-1846050_640-e1721085626928Recently, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals recalled 114 batches of 750 mg. potassium chloride extended-release capsules USP 10 mEq because of dissolution failure. The failed dissolution of these capsules can result in high potassium levels, a condition called hyperkalemia. This can lead to a patient’s cardiac arrest. Normal potassium levels are essential to your body; potassium assists with the functioning of kidneys, heart, muscles, nerves, and cells. If you were harmed by any of the recalled potassium chloride extended release capsules, consult the seasoned Chicago-based dangerous drug attorneys of Moll Law Group about your legal options.

Give Our Lawyers A Call

As a patient, you may need to take potassium chloride extended release capsules orally, especially if you have an underlying medical condition that changes how potassium is excreted. Such underlying conditions include heart failure, renal dysfunction or hypertension. Each of these  make it reasonably probable that you would develop hyperkalemia and cause severe adverse events. While it’s possible you might be asymptomatic, there is a chance you would suffer serious muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmia, or even death.

The recalled capsules had been distributed around the country to wholesalers, distributors, and retail stores in 100-count and 500-count bottles. The manufacturer hasn’t yet gotten reports of hyperkalemia, or a serious adverse event related to the capsules. are packaged in 100-count (NDC 68462-357-01) and 500-count (NDC 68462-357-05) bottles.
