On September 29, 2024, a chemical fire broke out at the BioLab facility in Conyers, Georgia, setting off a chain of events that turned a typical day into a hazardous situation for nearby residents. The fire, which quickly grew out of control, sent massive plumes of black, chemical-laden smoke into the sky, causing widespread fear and confusion. Emergency responders battled the flames for hours, while officials scrambled to determine the potential health risks to the surrounding community.  Now, people in Rockdale County and the surrounding areas are considering filing a Conyers BioLab fire lawsuit for harm done to them.

This was not an ordinary fire. It was a chemical fire—meaning the smoke and fumes were not just unpleasant, but potentially dangerous to breathe. Chemical fires are notorious for releasing toxic gases and particulates that can linger in the air long after the flames are extinguished. For the residents of Conyers and nearby areas, the worry didn’t end when the fire trucks left.

Some consumer class actions do not require individual claimants to provide proof of purchase or specific documentation to give compensation.  These are the the top five reasons why some consumer class actions do not require proof of purchase.

  1. Low-value Claims: In cases where the claims are of relatively low value, the cost and effort of obtaining and verifying individual proofs of purchase may outweigh the benefits. If it costs more to go over the proof, the juice is not worth the squeeze and may be better to distribute the settlement based on claims without requiring detailed documentation from each claimant.
  2. Presumption of Impact: For certain class actions, especially those involving widespread issues like overcharging or deceptive practices, it may be presumed that if you were a customer of the company during a certain period, you were affected by the issue. Thus, specific proof beyond affirming your status as a customer may not be necessary to provide compensation.
  3. Trust-based Claims Process: Some settlements opt for a trust-based claims process, where claimants self-certify their purchase or usage of the product or service in question. This approach relies on the honesty of claimants and may include penalties for fraudulent claims to deter abuse. If you are willing to sign under penalty of perjury and lie, you are pretty foolish.  Hopefully, few people in the class are foolish.
  4. Data Availability: In situations where the defendant company has extensive sales records or other data that can verify claims, individual consumers might not need to provide their proof. The company’s records can be used to identify affected consumers or estimate the extent of their use.
  5. Legal Strategy and Settlement Terms: The decision not to require proof can be part of the negotiated terms of the settlement. Both sides may agree that eliminating the proof requirement will encourage more claimants to come forward, allowing for a quicker resolution and distribution of the settlement.

A new study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology has raised alarms about the safety of popular acne products, many of which have been found to contain high levels of benzene, a known carcinogen. The findings highlight a significant health risk associated with these products, particularly as they are frequently used by teenagers and young adults. This is the second major analysis to reveal the presence of benzene in acne creams and cleansers, and it confirms concerns initially brought up by researchers earlier this year.

The Study and its Findings

Researchers tested over 100 benzoyl peroxide (BPO) acne products sold in major retailers across six states, uncovering that about one-third of these products were contaminated with benzene. Notably, products like Proactiv and CVS-brand face wash were found to contain benzene levels that far exceed the safety limits set by the FDA. Proactiv was found to have 18 times—18 times!— the amount of benzene allowed in U.S. drugs, while a CVS-brand face wash had 13 times the acceptable level. Such findings have led to increased calls for regulatory action and lawsuits to address this potential public health hazard.

This page is about Veozah lawsuits for victims who have suffered a liver injury.

Veozah, a medication commonly used by women to alleviate hot flashes during menopause, has recently been linked to reports of serious liver injuries. Many women have turned to Veozah. It is, everyone seems to agree, an effective solution for many managing the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, such as sudden sweating, intense heat, and rapid heartbeat that disrupt daily life.

If you or a loved one experienced pain, discomfort, or complications after receiving a BioZorb implant following breast cancer surgery, you are not alone. Across the United States, patients are taking legal action to hold the manufacturer, Hologic, accountable for the harm caused by this device.

The BioZorb implant, manufactured by Hologic, Inc., is a class II medical device first cleared by the FDA in 2012 under the 510(k) process. It is an implantable radiographic marker composed of a bioabsorbable material (polylactic acid) and six titanium radiopaque clips, which are designed to mark soft tissue sites during radiation therapy following breast cancer surgery. The device is intended to provide a three-dimensional marker for more precise radiation targeting while gradually dissolving in the body over time.

BioZorb works. But it has also been linked to several complications, including prolonged pain, discomfort, infection, device migration, and non-absorption. Many patients have reported the formation of hardened masses, scar tissue, and additional injuries at the implant site. The device has also been associated with increased radiation exposure and adverse reactions requiring further surgeries for removal.

The Fosamax lawsuit suffered a long and slow death.  The plaintiffs did not deserve this long and awful ride.  But the litigation over a decade later appears to be (nearly) dead. This post was first written in 2013 and has been updated in 2023 and 2024.

September 2024 Foxamax Lawsuit Update

In a ruling that revives these lawsuits, the Third Circuit ruled that the FDA letter denying Merck’s proposed labeling changes for its osteoporosis drug, Fosamax, does not amount to a final agency action that preempts state law “failure to warn” claims. The decision centers on over 500 plaintiffs who allege that Merck failed to provide adequate warnings about the risk of atypical femoral fractures associated with the drug. The court concluded that the New Jersey federal judge wrongly prioritized FDA informal communications over the plaintiffs’ arguments against preemption.
