The focus of the baby food lawsuits right now is a trial set for January 21, 2025, in California state court. This trial will be the first baby food heavy metals case to go to a jury, ahead of the larger MDL (multidistrict litigation). We are hopeful about the outcome, as it will give us a chance to see how a jury responds to claims that toxic metals in baby food are causing brain injuries in children.
The case will center on whether companies like Gerber and Beech-Nut knew about the heavy metals in their products and failed to properly warn consumers about the risks.
