When you buy a product, you expect it to be safe to use. However, a manufacturer may release a defective product that may harm you. At this point, you may pursue damages as part of a personal injury lawsuit against the manufacturer and be eligible for product liability lawsuit loans.
At Silver Dollar Financial, we offer legal loans ranging from $1,000 to $100,000 to plaintiffs involved in product liability lawsuits. For more information about our legal loans, reach out to us.
5 Everyday Products that Are Surprisingly Dangerous
These everyday products have caused consumers serious injuries.
1. Baby Powder
Talc is an ingredient commonly used in baby powder. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), research suggests there may be a link between talc and ovarian cancer. There have also been some studies that indicate there may be a connection between talc and lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against baby powder manufacturer Johnson & Johnson (J&J) due to the company’s use of talc in its products. In May 2024, Reuters reported that J&J is “moving forward” with a proposed $6.48 billion settlement. If the agreement is approved, it would resolve 99% of the talc-related lawsuits against the company.
There is no telling when the J&J baby powder lawsuit will be resolved. At Silver Dollar Financial, you may be able to get a talcum powder lawsuit loan based on your case. To learn more, get in touch with us.
2. EzriCare
EzriCare Artificial Tears are drops designed to refresh, lubricate, and moisturize the eyes. In February 2023, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Health Advisory relating to Artificial Tears. CDC noted the eye drops caused at least 55 infections across 12 states.
In its Health Advisory, the CDC advised healthcare providers to stop using Artificial Tears. It also pointed out that these providers should watch for patients dealing with eye infections and find out if these issues are related to Artificial Tears use. In addition, Forbes reported the first claim against EzriCare was filed in February 2023, with many following since that time.
If you have been dealing with an infection or other eye issues that may be related to the use of EzriCare, you may be able to pursue damages. It may be a good idea to consult with a doctor to evaluate your eye condition and treat it. Along with this, you may want to seek legal help and consider getting an EzriCare lawsuit loan that provides you with money you can use throughout your litigation.
3. Tylenol
Tylenol is an over-the-counter headache and pain relief medication. It contains acetaminophen, which acts as a pain reliever and fever reducer. Research suggests acetaminophen may be harmful to certain groups of people.
In one study, researchers found there may be a link between acetaminophen use and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study supported previous research that linked acetaminophen exposure in the womb to ADHD and ASD. Also, FDA encouraged pregnant women to carefully consider the use of acetaminophen or other pain-relieving medications.
To date, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against Kenvue, a J&J spinoff that produces Tylenol. If you are in the middle of one of these cases, it may be some time before you receive damages. With a Tylenol lawsuit loan, you can get money you can use as your case moves forward.
4. Roundup
Roundup is a popular weedkiller. It contains glyphosate, a herbicide that has been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. According to research from the University of Washington (UW), glyphosate exposure increases the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma development by 41%.
Many lawsuits have been filed against Bayer, Roundup’s manufacturer. Bayer has implemented a five-point plan to manage and mitigate risks relating to its litigation. The company indicated it has “won trials” thus far.
Just because Bayer has resolved many Roundup cases does not guarantee you will receive compensation as part of your case against the company. Thanks to a Roundup lawsuit loan, you are assured of getting money, regardless of how your case turns out. You can apply for legal funding and may get approved in as little as 24 hours.
5. Ozempic
Ozempic is a weight-loss drug that received FDA approval in 2017. It is intended for use by adults dealing with type 2 diabetes. Over the years, the drug has been linked to stomach problems.
In a medical journal article published in October 2023, researchers noted using Ozempic may increase a person’s risk of experiencing various gastrointestinal issues. This may be due to the fact that the medication works by helping an individual slow down the speed at which food moves through the stomach. When this happens, a person may be prone to gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
For those who have been taking Ozempic and are experiencing gastrointestinal problems, you may want to consult with a doctor who can evaluate you and get to the root of your symptoms. It may also be beneficial to partner with a personal injury attorney who may help you file a claim against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the manufacturers of Ozempic. You may be able to get an Ozempic lawsuit loan that allows you to receive money before your case is resolved.
