Are you concerned about the chemicals in your bottled water? You should be. In September 2020, Consumer Reports found that numerous carbonated water brands contained measurable levels of PFAS chemicals. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been linked to adverse health problems.

The Consumer Reports identified measurable levels of PFAS chemicals in over 40 bottled water brands. The study revealed that over 40 sparkling water brands, especially Coca-Cola brand Topo Chico, had significantly higher levels of toxic chemicals than still water.

While further research is needed to determine the full extent of the risks posed by PFAS chemicals, there is evidence that they may be linked to cancer and other health issues.

If harmful acts of one or more businesses bring harm to a whole group of people, it may cause a mass tort, and this is generally known as a class action lawsuit. The goal of class action lawsuits is to organize many cases so they can be heard simultaneously.

A lead plaintiff and his or her attorney represent the best interests of the entire group within the class action.

A class-action lawsuit is designed to hold negligent parties responsible for acts that have widespread damage and numerous victims. Ultimately, class action lawsuits attempt to change irresponsible corporate behavior.

Dangerous manufacturer defects are the cause of many across the United States including those involving insufficient warnings, design defect, and maker error in the product.

Every year, they cause substantial injury and even many deaths. Some frequent sources of deadly product defects include medications, lawn sprays, automobiles, business construction equipment, and even home building components.

Contact the attorneys of our law firm if a dangerous company product harmed you in an accident. A skilled attorney, experienced in product liability law, can speak with you about your injury and whether or not you may have a case against the manufacturer.

Product liability lawsuits are some of the most newsworthy court cases. Many people have heard of large-scale settlements that can reach into the billions of dollars. For example, the makers of the weed killer Roundup recently agreed to pay $10 billion to settle over 10,000 product liability cases.

Another example is the hundreds of millions of dollars that automakers paid out for the defective Taketa airbags that they put in cars.

However, there is a lot that must happen from the time that the claim is filed by the injured person through the time that the defendant pays to settle a lawsuit that claims that their product harmed someone. In Illinois, the product liability law is found in 735 ILCS 5/. Part 21 specifically focuses on product liability law.

Cooking spray seems to be an innocuous kitchen product that puts oil in a form that is convenient to use. However, like any spray product, there are dangers associated with the product since the contents are under pressure. Recently, there have been several lawsuits that have been filed by the manufacturers of Pam cooking spray that were all filed on the same day.

The plaintiffs suffered injury when cans of this cooking spray exploded, leaving them with serious disfiguring injuries. The lawsuits claim that there is a defect in the product that caused them to explode, although the company maintains that its products are safe and any explosions must have been due to improper use.

One of the overlooked complications associated with using cooking sprays in the kitchen is that they are used on or in close proximity to stoves. This heats contents that are already under pressure and makes them even more potentially dangerous. Specifically, Pam contains propellants designed to make the product spray through the vents. The company will not reveal exactly what these propellants are, but the lawsuits claim that they are propane and butane. All the company says is that the propellants are food grade and have been approved by the FDA. However, when heated, these propellants can become explosive.
