Yaz Lawsuit Legal Information

By admin | Published May 18, 2012

Yaz Lawsuit Update 05/18/2012: Although Bayer has indicated that it plans to start making settlement offers on the 11,000 plus Yaz Lawsuits it currently faces, new Yaz Lawsuits are still being filed. On or about April 04/24/12 Case Number 3:12-cv-20100-DRH-PMH was filed on behalf of 4 adults and one minor child. The Yaz Lawsuits were filed in the United States District of Court of Minnesota.

The Yaz Lawsuit was filed on behalf of all plaintiffs involved as a single lawsuit although each plaintiff’s damages were set forth individually.

This Yaz Lawsuit was filed based on the following cause(s) of action: strict products liability, breach of express and implied warranty, negligence, negligence per se, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment brought by Plaintiffs for damages associated with their ingestion of the pharmaceutical drug YAZ/Yasmin, also known generically as Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol .

It has yet to be determined how many more Yaz Lawsuits Bayer will have to face. It is clear that the case is not near an end despite the fact that Bayer is already in settlement talks with a large number of plaintiffs that have already filed a Yaz Lawsuit.

Ohio Building Owner Illegally Disposed of Asbestos Products

By admin | Published May 4, 2012

A federal jury has indicted a building company and its owner on charges of improper asbestos abatement after products containing the dangerous fiber were found illegally disposed of.

Asbestos Lawsuit: According to the Lorain Chronicle-Telegram, Lorne J. Elbert Jr. and his company – Elbert Building Co. Inc. – were indicted on EPA charges of illegally removing asbestos from the city’s former Builders Square building that the company owns.

After contacting a licensed asbestos abatement company in June 2007 to inquire on pricing for the removal of 800 square feet of asbestos insulation from the building’s boiler room before it was demolished, Elbert Building Co. received a $4,900 quote for the work to be performed, according to the indictment. While Elbert informed the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency that it would be using a licensed asbestos contractor for the project, it instead paid an unlicensed individual $35 to do the work one month later.

Mesothelioma Information: During an inspection by the Ohio EPA that followed the work, inspectors found four drums that contained dry asbestos products, while asbestos particles were also found left behind on the boiler room and in the parking lot, according to the indictment.

Remembering Steve Mcqueen Beloved Actor and Mesothelioma Victim

By admin | Published May 4, 2012

Steve McQueen was one of the most cherished actors of the 20th century, appearing in such classic films as The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt, and The Thomas Crown Affair. His anti-hero persona allowed him to play challenging roles that most actors were not capable of undertaking. He remains a legend of American cinema.

Asbestos Lawsuit: This March 24 would havemarked McQueen’s 82nd birthday. But sadly, McQueen died of complications from the deadly asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma in 1980 when he was just 50-years-old.

Mesothelioma can affect people from all walks of life, and McQueen was an example of that. While some people are diagnosed with the disease know how they were exposed to asbestos fibers, others have never had noticeable contact with the substance. Shipbuilders, miners and construction workers tend to have higher frequency of mesothelioma exposure because their jobs often required them to come in contact with asbestos materials.

On the other hand, McQueen – who was an actor and stunt man for much of his professional life – did not have as clear a history of prolonged asbestos exposure.

As we remember Steve McQueen’s remarkable career and tragic death, we should also remember the deadly legacy that asbestos carries with it. For much of his life, McQueen could have encountered asbestos materials in building materials, car parts, cleaning supplies, fabrics, cigarette filters, and countless other products.

McQueen once said, “I don’t believe in that phony hero stuff.” He is, however, a hero to many for the way he took on on mesothelioma and tried to fight the disease that has has claimed the lives of so many, and eventually took his. When McQueen died, he was in Mexico still seeking treatments for his disease that American doctors warned could be fatal.

Individuals whose lives have been touched by mesothelioma may have various questions and concerns about the deadly illness. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos cancer and need help, call our convenient toll-free number 888-360-4215 to speak with a mesothelioma consultant, or fill out our simple contact form for a free, no-obligation legal consultation.

School Closed Following Discovery of Asbestos

By admin | Published May 4, 2012

A school in the UK has been evacuated following the discovery of asbestos products during renovation work that was being performed at the facility.

Asbestos: According to the BBC, Flora Stevenson Primary School in Edinburgh was evacuated and closed for the week after work being done to the school building disturbed asbestos after a worker drilled through a board in the school’s cloakroom.

Disturbing the asbestos potentially made it easier for small fibers to get into the airstream where children and teachers could breathe them in. All 447 students and teachers were evaluated for asbestos exposure, and sent to a neighboring school to conduct the rest of their classes for the week.

Mesothelioma Help: This situation is yet another reminder that there are still a number of schools in the UK and the United States that still contain the original asbestos products they were constructed with. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma following years of asbestos exposure, contact Sokolove Law today to learn more about pursuing a mesothelioma lawsuit.

Taking Pictures With Cerebral Palsy

By admin | Published May 4, 2012

Matt Milligan is a budding photographer from Bonita Springs, Florida.. Diagnosed with a rare form of ataxic cerebral palsy when he was just a toddler., he is now 16-years-old and has been able to utilize his photography talents to inspire those around him.

Cerebral Palsy Resources: Ataxic cerebral palsy, which accounts for less than twenty percent of all cerebral palsy cases, typically means low muscle tone and poor conditioning of muscle movements. Because of these side effects, children with ataxic cerebral palsy are often unsteady and can struggle with coordination when it comes to handling tools.

With these obstacles to overcome, Matt’s accomplishments are even more remarkable. Think about how difficult it is for the average person to hold a camera steady and take a beautiful picture. For Matt, that’s even more challenging – but he does it with a smile.

Erbs Palsy Attorneys “Living with CP is a challenge,” Matt told the Quincy, MA-based Patriot Ledger. “But I think you can do anything you set your mind to… I take a little longer with things such as brushing my teeth, buttoning my shirt or combing my hair – I wear ball caps a lot.”

“Everyday life with Ataxic CP is not so bad. You just keep going,” he added.

If you or a loved one were born with cerebral palsy that was caused by medical malpractice or error, there may be legal options at your disposal. Contact Sokolove Law today to learn more about potentially pursuing a birth injury lawsuit.

Remembering Terry McCann Wrestler and Victim of Asbestos

By admin | Published May 4, 2012

Terrence McCann might not be a name that you immediately recognize, but in the late 1950s and early 1960s his dominance on the wrestling mat was legendary.

As a competitor for the University of Iowa, he won two Big Ten titles and two national championships. He eventually went on to win a gold medal for the United States in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1977. He is truly a legend in the sport of wrestling.

Mesothelioma Lawsuits: McCann would have turned 78 on this March 23, but he was a victim of the deadly cancer mesothelioma, which is caused by asbestos fibers. He died in 2006 of complications from the disease, which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world.

McCann believed he was exposed to the asbestos that caused his death while briefly working for an oil refinery in Oklahoma as a youngster. He contended that a boiler at the plant used asbestos as insulation.

Asbestos exposure of any length can cause a wide range of medical complications, most notably mesothelioma and asbestosis.

The United States took home three gold medals for freestyle wrestling in Rome, including McCann’s win in the bantamweight class. It was an Olympiad that highlighted the intense athletic rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union. McCann came home from the games an American hero. Later in life, Terry McCann spent much of his time taking on the powerful organizations that had been the root of several different health issues in his life, including his asbestos-related disease.

Talc In Cosmetics May Contain Asbestos

By admin | Published May 4, 2012

The FDA has conducted an exploratory survey of cosmetic products that contain talc and cosmetic-grade raw material talc due to concerns the products may contain asbestos.

According to the FDA, no asbestos fibers were found in any of the samples. However, the results were somewhat limited because the FDA only received talc from four suppliers. The survey concluded that the results were informative but do not prove that all cosmetics containing talc sold in the U.S. are asbestos free.

Asbestos Exposure: Talc is a mineral that occurs naturally and is composed of silicon, hydrogen, oxygen, and magnesium. Scientific literature that dates back to the 1960s has suggested talc may be linked to ovarian cancer.
