TOXIC BABY FOOD COURT DOCUMENTS
A U.S. government report that found dangerously high levels of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in baby food products prompted thousands of Americans to file lawsuits against Gerber, Hain, Walmart, Nurture, Sprout Organic Foods, Beech-Nut, and Plum Organics. The baby food lawsuits allege that manufacturers knowingly sell products loaded with heavy metals linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
The baby food lawyers at Wisner Baum (formerly Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman) have published publicly available court documents to give parents, regulators and the media useful background information on this important litigation. Our firm sincerely believes that the legal process for the baby food litigation should be transparent and open to public scrutiny, particularly because these cases affect the health and well-being of our population’s most vulnerable: babies and young children.
Below you will find links to transcripts, expert reports, and other court documents from court cases in the baby food litigation as they become publicly available.
