Recent Developments in Hair Product, Juul and Tylenol Litigations

As a result of injuries stemming from the use of chemical hair straightening products, several nationwide lawsuits, including one against L'Oreal, have been filed. The Multidistrict Litigation consolidated similar cases for pre-trial and discovery purposes regarding Tylenol use during pregnancy causing autism spectrum disorder and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children.
