Cases we're watching

Ordered by the most active national litigations right now, then by the size of the docket. A tracker of mass claims in court, not a verdict on you. If your facts do not pass the current screening criteria, it simply means you do not qualify for this specific litigation, not a moral judgment.

The most active national litigations

New or still-moving inventories. This is where screening questions are changing.

mdlMost active inventory

GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic / Wegovy / Mounjaro)

Nausea is on the label. The live inventory is diagnosed gastric emptying disorders and obstructions. Date of first use versus warning-label changes will matter.

Last checked 2026-08-21

mdlLargest live docket

PFAS drinking-water contamination

PFAS cases split into water-provider cost cases and personal-injury cases. Only the latter need a qualifying diagnosis. Exposure without injury is usually not a plaintiff personal-injury file.

Last checked 2026-09-03

mdlStill a multi-billion docket

Asbestos and mesothelioma

Mesothelioma plus a workplace, Navy, or take-home history is this inventory. Cosmetic powder is the talc page. A job title without a diagnosis is not a file. Latency is decades. Do not use a crash deadline as a shortcut.

Last checked 2026-08-31

mdlStill a live inventory

Chemical hair relaxer

Association is not causation, and a brand-less history is not a file. Qualifying cancers plus years of use is the current gate.

Last checked 2026-09-14

mdlSevere, smaller docket

Necrotizing enterocolitis (preterm formula / fortifier)

An August 20, 2026 Abbott agreement is not a diagnosis. The screen is still a preterm baby, a cow's-milk formula or fortifier charted in the NICU, and NEC. Naming both Similac and Enfamil is not the feeding record.

The large dockets

Big claims that are no longer the new thing. They still matter if the facts fit. They are not where a first-mover keyword play lives.

settlementLargest statutory claim

Camp Lejeune water contamination

This is a federal statutory claim against the United States, not a classic mass-tort MDL against a chemical company. Presence dates are binary: 1953–1987, 30 days.

Last checked 2026-08-18

mdlApplicator files, science fight

Paraquat and Parkinson’s disease

Applicator and mixer files, not bystander zip codes, are what currently survive screening.

Last checked 2026-08-10

mdlHuge, old, still in court

Cosmetic talc and ovarian cancer

Cosmetic powder is this inventory. Occupational asbestos mesothelioma is a different page. Ovarian and mesothelioma are different science and different forums. Past verdict headlines are not a prediction of the next case.

Last checked 2026-08-31

settlementRecall. Serial number first

Philips Recalled CPAP / BiPAP / ventilator foam

Serial number first. No recalled device, no file, regardless of a later diagnosis.
