Olympus Scope Infection Lawsuit

Surgical scope infection may arise after routine medical procedures such as colonoscopy, endoscopy, ERCP, and bronchoscopy, during which reusable scopes are inserted into the digestive tract or airways.

When bacteria become trapped inside the internal channels or mechanical components of a scope, they may be introduced into the digestive tract, bile ducts, lungs, or bloodstream during a later procedure. These infections can range from localized bacterial illnesses to life-threatening systemic infections.

On June 24, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stopped the import of new Olympus endoscope devices manufactured in Japan, citing concerns related to manufacturing and compliance.  However, tens of thousands of old devices are still in service and have not been recalled yet.

Chemical Hair Straightener Lawsuit

In October 2022, a groundbreaking study found that women who used hair relaxers were at a high risk to develop uterine cancer. 

Most hair relaxers contain chemicals such as formaldehyde, metals, parabens and phthalates, synthetic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which may contribute to uterine cancer risk because of their ability to alter hormones. These chemicals have been associated particularly with hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer.  

Firefighter Foam Cancer Lawsuit

Firefighters often use aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), which is a class B firefighting foam, to fight and extinguish liquid or fuel-based fires. AFFF contains chemicals called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Major health organizations like The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the American Cancer Society (ACS) have noted that certain PFAS chemicals may be linked to cancer in firefighters.

A study of 30,000 career firefighters who were employed at any time between 1950 and 2009 found that firefighters had a significant increase in cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths over the general US population.
