April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Millions Recovered
Michigan lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation to give sexual abuse victims more time to sue for damages, expanding the civil statute of limitations from age 28 to 52 and allowing a two-year window for retroactive lawsuits. The measures would allow victims to pursue lawsuits previously barred by time limits. Government entities could not claim immunity if they failed to act on prior misconduct. Vermont, Maine, and Maryland have already removed such limits. The push follows decades-old abuse reports, including convictions of Catholic clergy and Larry Nassar, a former Michigan State doctor. The legislation also proposes a "Survivors Bill of Rights" to ensure access to advocates, counselors, and legal support.

Where These Batteries Hide in Everyday Life
Button/coin batteries power countless household items—often in products families don’t think of as “dangerous.” Examples include:
How We Can Help
When you contact us, we’ll walk you through a clear, family-first process to build the strongest possible claim. That typically includes identifying the button battery and the product involved (such as the brand, model, and whether the battery compartment was properly secured), helping you preserve key evidence like the product, battery, packaging, photos, and purchase records, and gathering medical documentation to accurately capture what happened and the full treatment timeline. We also work to determine which companies may be responsible—whether that’s the battery manufacturer, the product manufacturer, a retailer, or a distributor—and then pursue compensation through settlement negotiations or litigation when appropriate. If you don’t know exactly where the battery came from, you’re not alone—many ingestions are unwitnessed, and we can still evaluate the circumstances, medical records, and likely sources. Because legal deadlines vary by state and can be short, it’s important to get a prompt review.

Button batteries can burn through a child’s throat or esophagus in as little as two hours if they become lodged. That injury can occur even when a child seems “fine” at first—symptoms are often vague and can look like a cold or stomach bug.
When a battery contacts saliva or other body fluids, it can generate an electric current that produces a highly caustic chemical (hydroxide), leading to rapid internal burns and tissue destruction.

If your child swallowed a button battery (also called a “coin cell” battery), you already know how fast life can change. These cases are medical emergencies—and in many situations, families may also have legal options when a battery or battery-powered product was not designed, packaged, or warned about safely.
Why Button Battery Ingestions Are So Dangerous
Injuries commonly linked to ingestion may include:
Remote controls (TV, streaming devices, air conditioners)
Key fobs / keyless entry remotes
Wireless game controllers
Toys
Musical greeting cards
Watches, hearing aids, small gadgets and novelty items
National data shows this is not a rare problem. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that from 2011–2021 there were 27 deaths and approximately 54,300 emergency-room–treated injuries associated with ingested or inserted button cell/coin batteries. Separately, the Battery Ingestion Hotline’s reporting (1985–2025) tracks 73 fatal cases and 393 severe cases in button-battery ingestion data, including 68,094 cases involving children age 6 and under. A CDC analysis covering 1997–2010 estimated that 40,400 children under 13 were treated in U.S. emergency departments for battery-related injuries, and identified 14 fatalities in children between 1995–2010. Looking at more recent emergency-department trends from 2010–2019, a major analysis of U.S. ED data (Nationwide Children’s Hospital) found that, on average, every 75 minutes a child under 18 visited an ED for a battery-related injury; when the battery type was known, button batteries were most often involved (85%), and 84% of patients were age 5 or younger. Overall, the Battery Ingestion Hotline also states that more than 3,500 people of all ages swallow button batteries each year in the United States.
