Baby Food Lawsuits for West Virginia Residents

National Law Firm for Heavy Metal Baby Food Lawsuits in West Virginia

If your child or a child in your family has suffered from side effects of exposure to toxic heavy metals from baby food in West Virginia, you may have grounds to file a baby food lawsuit against the manufacturers. Baby food lawsuits for heavy metals allow West Virginia parents and families harmed by baby food toxins to seek compensation for the permanent damages and suffering that have resulted from these harmful products.

A congressional report released in February of 2021 exposed the heavy metal content of many major baby foods sold commercially in West Virginia and throughout the United States. Specifically, the report outlined the levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury found in four major baby food brands sold in West Virginia, Beech-Nut, HappyBABY, Earth's Best Organic and Gerber. Finished products and raw ingredients from each of the companies contain staggering levels of toxic heavy metals. Heavy metals in West Virginia baby foods can cause severe and irreversible harm to the neurological and brain development of babies and young children in West Virginia, resulting in lifelong challenges and disabilities.

Critics point to the fact that baby food manufacturers have long since been aware of the dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals in baby foods, yet have failed to take action to protect our nation's most vulnerable citizens. Baby foods containing heavy metals bear no warning or label to indicate the risk of exposure and West Virginia families have used these products with now knowledge of the danger. Federal regulators are no better; information on toxic baby food was brought before the FDA under President Trump in 2019 and the agency took no action to increase consumer safety. Manufacturers have continued to profit grossly in this $6 billion-plus industry, while jeopardizing the futures of millions of American children, including countless children in West Virginia.

The congressional report recommends a system of mandatory testing and labeling to remove heavy metals from baby foods. Unfortunately, the threat of major litigation may be the only effective way to force baby food manufacturers to become better corporate citizens. Children in West Virginia and across America have suffered from the side effects of heavy metals in baby foods, which include lower IQ and academic performance, ADHD, autism, and other neurological problems.
