I cannot give you one headline for 2026 mass tort litigation without leaving out half the story. Depo-Provera lawyers reached an agreement in principle that could resolve a substantial number of meningioma claims. New federal proceedings were created for Dupixent, Boston Scientific spinal cord stimulators, Roblox child exploitation, Lyft passenger assaults, Cartiva implants, ByHeart infant formula, and GLP-1 vision loss cases.

There has been plenty of bad news, too. The Supreme Court handed Monsanto a serious preemption victory in the Roundup litigation. That ruling makes Bayer’s proposed settlement more attractive to some plaintiffs, even though many believe the proposed payments are too low. The first Paragard bellwether ended in a defense verdict. AFFF personal injury plaintiffs are still waiting for their first trial. Several older dockets look enormous on paper because settlement administration is slow work and cases remain in the federal count while releases, liens, dismissals, and payments are processed.

Here is where things stand for the rest of 2026. I have grouped the cases by what injured people actually need to know: which federal proceedings are moving, which new MDLs deserve attention, and which investigations remain too young for dependable predictions. Where a docket has reached settlement administration, I say that. Where I do not have a confident view yet, I say that, too.

Roblox sexual abuse lawsuits allege that the gaming platform exposed children to predators who used chat features, games, virtual currency, and friend requests to begin grooming them. In many cases, the predator allegedly moved the child from Roblox to Discord, Snapchat, text messaging, or another private channel before demanding explicit images or arranging an in-person meeting.

These lawsuits extend beyond the criminal conduct of individual predators. Plaintiffs contend that Roblox knew children were being targeted on its platform but failed to implement reasonable age verification, communication restrictions, moderation systems, reporting procedures, and parental controls in a timely manner.

Federal Roblox child sexual exploitation cases are consolidated in MDL No. 3166 before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg in the Northern District of California. The litigation is moving through early discovery, bellwether selection, and a major dispute over whether Roblox can force claims into private arbitration.

Bard PowerPort lawsuits allege that implanted catheter devices used during chemotherapy and other long-term treatments can fracture, migrate, cause serious infections, and contribute to dangerous blood clots.

The Bard PowerPort is placed beneath the skin and connected to a catheter that enters a major blood vessel. Plaintiffs claim that flaws in certain catheter materials can cause the device to deteriorate after implantation, exposing patients to vascular damage, emergency surgery, sepsis, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other serious injuries.

The federal lawsuits are consolidated in MDL No. 3081 in the District of Arizona. Bellwether trials began in April 2026. The first trial produced a partial defense result but left the central design-defect claim unresolved. The next trial, involving a fractured catheter, is scheduled to begin on August 18, 2026.

The Bair Hugger warming device has been a popular medical device used in hospitals for years. It is used to keep patients warm during surgeries, which helps prevent hypothermia and other complications. However, studies have suggested that the use of Bair Hugger warming devices during joint replacement surgery may increase the risk of infection.  These studies spawned thousands of lawsuits that evolved into the Bair Hugger class action lawsuit.

What Is the Bair Hugger Warming Device?

The Bair Hugger warming device is a forced-air warming system that was first introduced in 1987. It is a portable device that blows warm air through a disposable blanket, which covers the patient during surgery. The device is designed to maintain the patient’s body temperature, which helps reduce the risk of hypothermia and other complications.

The Bair Hugger was created in the 1980s by Augustine Medical, Inc., which was later acquired by Defendant Arizant Healthcare, Inc. In 2010, Defendant 3M Company purchased Arizant, including the Bair Hugger product line. The Bair Hugger is designed to keep patients warm during surgical procedures by blowing warm, forced air over the patient. It consists of a portable forced-air temperature management unit and a disposable Bair Hugger forced-air blanket, with 25 different styles available that vary in size and coverage, including partial or full coverage of the patient’s body, and some are used underneath the patient. The manufacturer markets Bair Huggers as a warming solution that can be used for various patients, from pediatric to geriatric, and for both short and long procedures. The marketing slogan for Bair Huggers is “Everyone Deserves a Hugg™,” emphasizing its suitability for everyone.
