Benzene Toxic Pit lead to deadly cancer in a California man
California Benzene Toxic Pit Lawsuit
A California jury in a trial in Santa Barbara awarded $63 million in damages against Chevron. The jury found the oil giant was liable for covering up a toxic chemical pit on land purchased by a man who built a house on it and was later diagnosed with a deadly blood cancer.
According to Kevin Wright’s lawsuit, he developed multiple myeloma after building his home directly over the chemical pit near Santa Barbara in 1985. Wright lived in that house for about two years but 27 years later, he was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer that can be caused by benzene exposure.
In 2015, Wright was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, has received two stem cell treatments, and is getting chemo once a month, and he’s going to continue to do that for the foreseeable future. Continue reading
PFAS Contamination Lawsuit against Kleenex
PFAS Contamination Lawsuit against Kleenex. According to a new federal class action lawsuit, deadly PFAS pollution from a Connecticut Kleenex plant has contaminated the land, well water aquifers, and drinking water, risked residents’ health, and destroyed their property values.

What is PFAS?
PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFAS are a class of more than 15,000 man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products since the 1950s. PFAS are prized for their ability to repel water and oil, resist heat, and reduce friction. PFAS is supposed to be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the federal government, but usually nothing comes of it and hence Private Citizens lawsuits like this one, to force the regulatory bodies to act.
PFAS have been used in a wide range of products including non-stick cookware, think Teflon, stain-resistant fabrics, think ScotchGard, water-repellent clothing, food packaging, think Pizza boxes, firefighting foams, and many others. Continue reading

Synovo Hip System Concerns
After tackling defective hip implants over the past 15 years, another implant manufacturer is under the gun. Affected patients are filing lawsuits against Synovo Total Hip Replacement System (THS).

What is the Synovo lawsuit about?
As with all the previous lawsuits against hip manufacturers over the past 15 years, this is nothing new. These hip implant companies take shortcuts in their rush to get to the marketplace, do insufficient or incomplete safety testing, find out problems or defects with their product and fail to notify the FDA or the public.
The Synovo hip implant lawsuits are primarily related to issues with the Synovo Total Hip System, which was altered from its original design approved by the FDA. These modifications, made in 2019, have raised concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the implants. Continue reading
Suboxone Teeth Rot
Suboxone Teeth Rot. Suboxone is a prescription sublingual film medication used to treat opioid addiction and opioid dependence. Suboxone oral film can be effective in helping patients handle withdrawal symptoms and damp down cravings for opioids, but there are potentially serious side effects noted with its use.
Suboxone Teeth Rot? Contact Dr. Shezad Malik Law Firm at 214-390-3189.
Dependency. Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, which means it has similar effects as an opioid drug but at a lower level. Buprenorphine changes the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Buprenorphine also decreases the pleasurable effects of opioids, making misuse of them less appealing. Suboxone can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, but it can also lead to physical dependence if not taken as prescribed.
Abuse potential. Although Suboxone has a lower potential for abuse compared to full opioid agonists, it can still be abused, particularly when taken in higher doses or in combination with other substances.
Dental Side Effects. Suboxone has been touted as a safe medication to treat opioid addiction but the acidic components in Suboxone strips have been shown to cause severe enamel erosion and subsequent dental problems, including Suboxone teeth rot. Continue reading
