Active Mass Tort Lawsuits: Claims Accepting New Cases Now

Mass tort litigation moves constantly: new investigations open, settlement programs begin, and filing deadlines close claims for good. This overview covers the major mass tort lawsuits that are actively accepting new cases right now, grouped by the kind of harm involved. Every one of them offers a free case review, and none requires any payment unless you recover compensation.

Several active litigations involve prescription drugs. Depo-Provera, the injectable contraceptive, is the subject of claims that long-term use is linked to meningioma, a type of brain tumor. Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications face lawsuits alleging they can cause severe gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) and related complications that patients say they were never warned about. And Zantac (ranitidine) claims continue for people who developed cancer after the medication was found to break down into NDMA, a probable human carcinogen.

Medical devices and personal-care products make up another group. Philips CPAP and BiPAP machines were recalled after their sound-abatement foam was found to degrade into particles and gases users could inhale, with claims involving cancers and respiratory injuries. Talcum powder lawsuits allege that decades of use of talc-based products led to ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Chemical hair relaxer claims center on studies linking frequent use to uterine and ovarian cancer, and NEC baby formula litigation involves premature infants who developed necrotizing enterocolitis after being fed cow's-milk-based formula in the NICU.

Environmental and occupational exposure cases remain among the largest. Camp Lejeune claims cover veterans, families, and workers exposed to contaminated drinking water at the North Carolina base between 1953 and 1987. AFFF firefighting foam litigation involves firefighters and others exposed to PFAS "forever chemicals" who later developed cancer. Paraquat lawsuits allege the herbicide causes Parkinson's disease in farmers, agricultural workers, and people who lived near sprayed fields.

A newer generation of mass torts targets online platforms and services. Roblox child safety claims involve children who were groomed or exploited through the platform. Social media harm lawsuits allege that addictive design injured minors' mental health. And rideshare assault litigation seeks accountability from companies whose drivers assaulted passengers — cases that can proceed even if the driver was never criminally charged.

Two things matter more than anything else in a mass tort: whether your facts fit the litigation's criteria, and whether you are still inside the filing deadline. Statutes of limitations vary by state and by claim, and some are triggered by the date you discovered your injury rather than the date of exposure. Waiting can permanently bar an otherwise valid claim, so if any of the situations above sounds like yours, it costs nothing to check.

Checking takes about three minutes: answer a short set of questions about the product, your diagnosis, and the timing. Our intake team reviews your answers against the current criteria for that litigation and, if you may qualify, connects you with an experienced law firm for that specific claim. The review is free, confidential, and carries no obligation — and you can track everything afterward in your secure claim portal.
