 Throughout the year, The Carlson Law Firm creates blog posts with our clients and readers in mind. We want to educate and inform about not just legal processes, but how to stay safe. With the year coming to an end, we figured we’d bring you our end of year roundup.

These are the most visited posts from our blog this year.

The Verdict: How the Hot Coffee Lawsuit Led to Tort Reform

Did you know that the lead attorney on the McDonald’s Hot Coffee case is a lawyer for our firm? In 2019, Reed Morgan appeared on our firm’s podcast, The Verdict, to discuss 25 years of tort reform. The true story behind the Hot Coffee Lawsuit is a 79-year old woman was severely injured by a product that McDonald’s knew as dangerous.  However, the multi-billion-dollar corporation controlled the narrative in the media around Mrs. Liebeck’s case and painted her out to be a greedy old woman. Shame on them. 

The 5 Best Hygiene Alternatives to Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder

This year, Johnson & Johnson faced mounting courtroom losses as judges and juries sided with plaintiffs in talc Baby Powder lawsuits. Research shows that women who use talc-based baby powder have a 20-30% greater risk of developing ovarian cancer when using the powder around their groin area. While similar blogs gave information on different types of powders, our goal with this blog was to steer women away from using any kind of powdered substance on their genitals. The science suggests that with talc-based baby powder, particles of talc embed into the ovaries of women causing inflammation and cancer. We don’t want you to even risk the chance that another product could carry the same dangers as Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based baby powder or Shower-to-Shower. 

We are still accepting clients who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Contact us today to schedule a free, confidential consultation with our diverse team.
