Hi there,
Welcome to Mass Tort Movers, your weekly read on the class-action settlements and mass torts you might be owed money from. We watch the court dockets, the regulators and the news so you don't have to, then flag what actually moved this week and whether it could fit you. We're not a law firm, and we never charge you a cent.
Three product injury cases are still open this week, and none of them has quietly gone away. What ties them together is simple: people who used these products may still be able to file, and the window has not closed. If you used a Philips breathing machine, a chemical hair relaxer, or 3M earplugs during military service, this issue is about where those claims stand.
Philips CPAP Recall Claims Remain Open for Users
There is no new news on the Philips breathing machine recall this week. The claims process is still open for people who used certain recalled devices. Philips recalled several machines over concerns about foam that could break down and get into the air path. We are watching the docket and will report any real updates when they come.
You may be eligible if you used a recalled Philips DreamStation, BiPAP, Trilogy or System One device between 2009 and June 2021. If that sounds like you, you can check your device model and start a claim through claimscout. Filing does not guarantee payment, but it keeps your options open.
Hair Relaxer Cancer Lawsuits Continue to Move Forward
The hair relaxer litigation is still being litigated, not settled. Recent coverage from AboutLawsuits.com looks at where things stand for people who say chemical straighteners harmed them. No payout has been announced, and we cannot say how any case will end.
You may be eligible if you used chemical hair relaxers or straighteners for several years and were diagnosed with uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids. If that sounds like you, gather your product history and medical records, then check your options with claimscout. There is no cost to look.
3M Combat Arms Earplugs claims remain open for veterans
The 3M Combat Arms Earplugs matter is still open for claims. We are not reporting any new ruling or payout here. The one headline we had concerns 3M firefighting foam, a separate matter, so it does not change anything for earplug claims. If you served and were issued these dual-ended earplugs, your claim can still be filed.
You may be eligible if you served in the US military between 2003 and 2015, were issued 3M Combat Arms dual-ended earplugs, and have hearing loss or tinnitus. Filing does not guarantee payment. To start, gather your service dates and any hearing records, then check your options with us at claimscout.
If any of this sounds like you or someone in your family, checking is free and takes about a minute. We will be back next week with the claims worth knowing about. Until then, take care of yourself and the people you look out for.
Until next week,
