Recently, plaintiffs in five lawsuits moved under 28 U.S.C. section 1407 to centralize litigation about Cartiva toe implants in the District of Maryland or the Northern District of Illinois. There are plaintiffs in nine potential tag-along lawsuits in seven districts, and some of them also supported centralization in the Northern District of Illinois. If you were harmed by Cartiva toe implants, you should give the seasoned Chicago- based medical device lawyers of Moll Law Group a call to determine whether you have a viable claim. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved around the country.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Cartiva Claim

Each of the plaintiffs was implanted with the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant. These implants, which are put in place during a minimally invasive 30-minute outpatient procedure, are supposed to provide a cushioning effect, and allow for the replacement of painful, damaged cartilage without fusion of the joint.

In their lawsuits, the plaintiffs alleged that the implant was defective and that, as a result, they suffered from persistent pain and limited range of motion after being implanted with them and then needed further surgery to remove the failed implants and fuse their arthritic joints. Their claims were for strict product liability, negligence, and breach of express and implied warranties.

stocksnap-people-2585648-scaled-e1774738650677The FDA has reported that, based on medical device maker Abbott Laboratory’s company data, there have been 860 serious injuries connected to the recall of certain glucose monitoring sensors. Internal testing at the manufacturer determined that certain sensors can offer incorrect readings of low glucose. The consequences of this may involve injuries, complications, or even death. If you were harmed by one of the FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases around the nation with which we’ve been involved.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Abbott Claim

In November 2025, Abbott issued a medical device correction, reporting that there had been 736 severe adverse events and deaths connected to certain affected glucose monitors. These events and deaths occurred on an international scale. When incorrect glucose readings go without detection, inappropriate treatment decisions for diabetic people may be made. For example, patients may consume excess carbohydrates or may skip or delay insulin doses.

Around 3 million Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus sensors from a specific production line, around half of which were used or have expired were affected. The FDA issued an early alert in December. In January, the FDA classified it as a Class I recall, which is the most serious type of recall, on January 14, a company spokesperson told Reuters. Class I recalls occur when an affected product could cause serious injury or death if consumers continue to use it.

grill-500547_640-e1769901385507A San Jose, California-based manufacturer of cookware items, IKM, is recalling certain pots and pans, because they might be contaminated with significant lead levels, which can get into consumers’ food. Lead is toxic and can impact people of any age or health; no level of exposure to lead is considered safe. If you believe you suffered lead poisoning due to IKM products, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability attorneys of Moll Law Group.

Call Moll Law Group About an IKM Claim

The recalled items are the IKM aluminum saucepan wooden handle 9 inches (56 pieces); the A-cook Aluminum Kadai size 5 (43 pieces); the brass tope (10 pieces), and the IKM 4-quart Pital brass pot (9 pieces). No illnesses have been reported to date.

However, even low levels of lead exposure can result in significant health problems, especially in fetuses and children because of their rapid growth, metabolism, and smaller body size. When the levels of lead are lower, there may not be clear symptom, but the child may still struggle to learn and to suffer from low IQ and behavioral issues. When lead levels are high, the symptoms can include neurological changes, stomach pain, headache, and fatigue.

baby-6823431_640-e1769900986959Recently, Nestlé expanded its recall of infant and follow-on formula, after concerns about a heat-resistant toxin, cereulide, emerged, to over 50 countries. Cereulide can cause food poisoning. While no illnesses have been reported in connection with recalled products, parents are still warned to look out for symptoms. The recall impacted a range of infant nutrition products. If you believe your infant became sick because of Nestlé infant formula, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved. We represent plaintiffs around the country.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim

Infant formula and follow-on formula were initially recalled after Nestlé’s testing discovered, during routine self-monitoring, that part of the production line had suspected Bacillus cereus contamination. Additional testing occurred and they found that cereulide, which is a toxin produced by specific strains of Bacillus cereus, was found in one of the raw materials, arachidonic acid oil (ARA), along with oil mixes containing ARA, that were used to produce the formula.

These findings caused Nestlé to expand the recall’s scope to include more products and additional countries where the facilities may have used that ingredient.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Pine-Sol Claim

In 2019, Clorox microbiologists put out a written report documenting bacterial contamination in finished product and storage tanks, which they specified was “possibly a Pseudomonad.” After that, the company got reports that certain products in stores were cloudy. Similarly, a distributor notified the company of the same problem in multiple locations. While Clorox took steps to mitigate the potential for bacterial contamination, Clorox did not immediately report to the Commission as required.

CPSC suggested that the proposed settlement sent the message that firms that delayed in reporting serious risks would risk paying significant penalties.

car-8607713_640Recently, Tesla recalled certain 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y cars that could lose the capacity to accelerate while driving, due to a battery pack defect that could cause sudden power loss. The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pointed out that this raises the risk of crashes in a notice it issued about the recall. If you were injured in a Tesla and believe that it was based on a battery pack defect, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability attorneys of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in product liability litigation with which we’ve been involved. We represent clients around the country.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Tesla Claim

The recall covers 5,028 2025 Model 3 vehicles made between March 8-August 12, 2025, as well as 7,925 2026 Model Y vehicles that were built between March 15-August 15, 2025. The NHTSA has said that around 1% of the recalled vehicles are estimated to carry the defect.

The problem with the vehicle is that the battery pack contactor is made with an InTiCa solenoid that may suddenly open because of a bad coil termination connection. When the contactor opens while the vehicle is being driven, the driver won’t be able to apply torque to the vehicle using the accelerator pedal. This can cause a loss of propulsion, which in turn may increase the crash risk.

biking-1804439_640-e1765128615912Recently, Outdoor Master children’s and youth helmets that violated the mandatory safety standard for bike helmets were recalled. The Outdoor Master helmets don’t comply with requirements that the helmets have positional stability and certain types of coverage. The recalled helmets might not protect a use who is involved in a bike crash, and this in turn can result in head injuries or death due to head injury. Around 24,300 helmets were affected by this recall. If your child was injured or killed as a result of a defective bike helmet, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved.

Call Moll Law Group About Your Child’s Bike Helmet Claim

Two models of Outdoor Master children’s and youth bicycle/multipurpose helmets are affected by the recall. They were sold online at Amazon.com and Walmart.com from June 2024-February 2025 for $20-$32. One of the models is OM-TD BIKE; it’s blue with a dinosaur print and has a black plastic adjustable knob at the back of the helmet, as well as black straps, a black buckle, and black padding. It comes in children’s size small and fits a head circumference of 48-52 cm. The other model is OM-TD BIKE with the manufacturing month of 05/2024 printed on a label inside the helmet. The bran is printed on the back of the helmet. These are green helmets with a black plastic knob, a black buckle, black padding, and yellow straps. It is sold in youth size small and fits those with a head circumference of 46-52 cm.

You should check your child’s helmet for these markers to determine whether they have been recalled; you can get a full refund from Outdoor Master by contacting them. However, the remedy may be insufficient if your child was injured or died in a bike accident involving the helmet. It may be appropriate to pursue damages in a product liability lawsuit in the event that there are injuries or death involved. Theories of liability under which we may be able to recover damages include negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, breach of contract, and statutory violations.
