NEC
Lawsuits continue to be filed against manufacturer Abbott Laboratories for failing to warn parents that their baby formula Similac may cause premature infants to suffer from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). A motion has been filed to consolidate more than 30 lawsuits against the manufacturer in Illinois.


CPAP/Philips Respironics
CPAP litigation continues to move forward. Million of CPAP machines were manufactured by Philips Respironics between 2009 and 2021 that are affected. More than 153 lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturer, and in October 2021, more than 100 were consolidated into multidistrict litigation.

Moll Law Group continues to participate in this litigation as it grows.
On February 2, 2022, certain Maxtrade’s Youth Coolster Mountopz All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) were recalled. The recall was issued because the ATVs did not comply with the mandatory federal ATV standard for safety. Notably, youth ATVs didn’t abide by the maximum speed limit for these vehicles when they are meant for children. ATVs are sold for minimum ages 6, 10, 12, or teens. Additionally, some of these recalled ATVs have parking brakes that don’t work to stop the ATV from moving, which could result in an accident. If an ATV caused you or your child injury, you should consult the experienced Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group about whether you have a claim. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved. Read More
