List of Common Dangerous Products
Roundup

It is imperative that you take actions to protect your rights immediately.
Talcum Powder
There is evidence that women that have used talcum powder, i.e. Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and/or Shower to Shower, have a higher incidence of developing ovarian cancer. We are reviewing these types of cases. If you or a family member have used talcum powder and have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer please contact us for a free consultation.
Zantac
In its prescription and over the counter form, Zantac contains a substance called ranitdine, which, when consumed by the body, or transported in warm climates, heats up and emits introsodimeylimiine (NDMA). NDMA is a carcinogen which taken over a period of one year or longer has lead to the following cancers:
- Stomach
- Bladder
- Colorectal
- Kidney; and
- Liver
If you have taken Zantac in the past and have been diagnosed with any of the above cancers, please contact us we can discuss your case.
JUUL Vape Device
JUUL vaping devices have come under scrutiny recently for a number of different reasons, including vape explosions, failure to disclose proper warnings about the highly addictive nature of their products, and the question of whether the company intentionally advertised their product to younger users. Now there is evidence that vape products can lead to lung injuries and death. If you believe that you or a loved one has been injured as a result of vaping, please contact us for a free consultation.
Common Product Liability Attorney Topics
What is a Product Liability Claim?
A product liability claim allows you to seek compensation for physical injuries and property damages that result from defective and unreasonably dangerous products. You can also seek compensation if the designer, manufacturer, and/or seller failed to warn consumers about the possible dangers of using the product.
Damages or Compensation
You should be compensated for all injuries and losses that result from a defective product. Non-economic damages include compensation for pain, suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, physical disability and inconvenience. Economic damages include compensation by payment for items like medical care, hospitalization, and loss of income or earning capacity. Experts most often testify in order to prove past earnings, determine future needs, and decipher other considerations to help generate a specific dollar amount.
Personal Injury
A personal injury is an injury to your body, mind, or even emotions. Rokisky, McCune, Wilharm & Blair will discuss damages with you including medical costs, pain, and suffering, loss of consortium, emotional distress, hospital and doctor bills, length of time to recover, loss of profits and the damages you suffered to your body.
