Roundup Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Mass Tort & Bayer’s $7.25B Settlement Delay: SCOTUS FIFRA Preemption Killed Failure-to-Warn but Design Defect and Negligence Survive — Attorney911 Pursues the Glyphosate Manufacturer and Its Monsanto Subsidiary Behind 67,000 Cancer Claims Where Cumulative Herbicide Exposure Is Linked to Lymphatic Cancer, We Secure Exposure Receipts, Product Containers, Employment Records and Pathology Reports Before They Degrade and the Statute of Limitations Runs, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Corporate Claims Machine Values and Denies NHL Cases, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Roundup Settlement Was Just Delayed — and the Supreme Court Just Changed Everything for Your Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Claim If you used Roundup and later heard the words “non-Hodgkin lymphoma” from an oncologist, you already know the feeling — the floor drops, and every decision after that is made in a fog. Now you are hearing about a $7.25 billion settlement that was supposed to get a final approval hearing on July 9, and that hearing has been pushed to August 19. And on top of that, the United States Supreme Court just ruled 7-2 that federal pesticide law blocks the very heart of most Roundup cancer lawsuits — the claim that Monsanto should have warned you about cancer on the label. You probably have two questions right now, and we are going to answer both of them straight: What does the delay mean for me, and does the Supreme Court ruling kill my case? The delay means the judge wants more time to consider objections — it does not kill the settlement, and it does not kill your rights. The Supreme Court ruling is a serious blow to one legal theory — failure to warn — but it does not eliminate every theory, and the fight over what survives is just beginning. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC, and we handle toxic tort and product liability cases for people whose lives were overturned by a product they were told was safe. This page is not a…

MassTort-National Roundup Cancer Lawsuit After the Supreme Court’s 7-2 FIFRA Preemption Ruling — Attorney911 on What the Decision Means for Your Glyphosate Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Claim, We Pursue Monsanto and Its Bayer Parent on Design-Defect, Negligent-Testing and Fraudulent-Marketing Theories That Survive the Labeling Preemption, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Corporate Claims Machine Values and Denies Cancer Cases, We Preserve Exposure Records, Purchase Receipts and Pathology Reports Before They Disappear, the $7.25 Billion Class Settlement Is Pending and Statute-of-Limitations Clocks Are Running, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Supreme Court Just Ruled on Roundup Claims — Here Is What It Means for You You heard the news. The Supreme Court ruled that federal pesticide law blocks some state-law claims against Monsanto and Bayer over Roundup weedkiller. If you or someone you love used Roundup and later developed cancer — especially Non-Hodgkin lymphoma — you may be wondering whether the door to compensation just closed. It did not close all the way. But it narrowed, and understanding exactly which doors remain open is now the most important thing standing between your family and a recovery. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are writing to you as the trial team that handles toxic-tort and mass-tort cases, and we are going to tell you exactly what this ruling held, what it did NOT hold, which legal theories are still alive, and what you need to do right now to protect your claim. This page is legal information, not legal advice — but it is the information we wish every person diagnosed with cancer after years of Roundup exposure had before they talked to anyone, including us. The ruling was 7-2. Justice Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion. The Court held that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act — the federal pesticide law known as FIFRA — preempts state-law failure-to-warn claims that would require cancer warnings on Roundup labels beyond what the Environmental Protection Agency has approved. Because the EPA approved Roundup’s label without requiring a cancer warning,…

Philadelphia Jury Says J&J Baby Powder Caused Fatal Ovarian Cancer — What the $250,000 Verdict Means for 176 Pending Families and Yours If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love used Johnson’s Baby Powder for years and then died of ovarian cancer, you already know the question that brought you here. You want to know whether this product caused her cancer, whether the Philadelphia jury verdict you read about applies to your family, and whether the door is still open. We are going to answer all of that, plainly and completely, because the answer to every one of those questions matters more than anything we could say about ourselves. A Philadelphia jury has now formally decided what thousands of families have suspected: Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based baby powder caused a woman’s ovarian cancer, and the company is legally responsible for her death. The jury awarded her family $250,000. That verdict was rendered in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, in a consolidated mass tort docket that currently holds 176 similar lawsuits — 176 families who are waiting for their own day in front of a Philadelphia jury. If your loved one used talc-based baby powder and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, your family may belong in that docket. The call is free. The consultation is free. We do not get paid unless we win your case. And the first thing we do — the day you call — is protect the evidence that is quietly aging…

The Miyoshi America $20 Million Talc Trust: What Mesothelioma and Ovarian Cancer Patients Need to Know You are reading this because you, or someone you love, has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or ovarian cancer, and you have learned that a company called Miyoshi America just created a twenty-million-dollar trust through bankruptcy court to pay people like you. You may be sitting at a kitchen table at two in the morning with a pathology report in one hand and a phone in the other, trying to understand whether this trust is your answer or a trap. We are going to tell you the truth about both — because the most important thing you can learn right now is that this trust is probably not your only option, and in many cases it should not be your first one. The trust is real. A Texas bankruptcy judge confirmed it, ninety-nine percent of existing claimants voted to accept it, and not a single objection was filed by the deadline. It is historic — the first prepackaged talc reorganization in United States bankruptcy history. But twenty million dollars, split among every current and future person who files a claim against Miyoshi America for asbestos-contaminated cosmetic talc, is a modest pool. Traditional asbestos trusts range from hundreds of millions to several billion dollars. This one is twenty million. And the company that supplied the ingredient is only one piece of a supply chain that runs from a mine in the earth to a bottle on…

Roundup Lawsuits After the Supreme Court: Your Case Is Not Over You used Roundup for years. You sprayed it on your yard, your farm, your property, your jobsite. Then you were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and someone told you there was a lawsuit. Maybe you signed up. Maybe you have a claim pending. Maybe you have been waiting for years, watching from the sidelines, hearing about verdicts and settlements. And now you just heard the news: the United States Supreme Court ruled against Roundup plaintiffs. You are reading this at 2 a.m. because you think your case is dead. We need you to hear this clearly before you read another word: it is not. The Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision blocked one legal theory — the failure-to-warn claim that said Monsanto should have put a cancer warning on the Roundup label. That theory was the engine that drove most of the headline verdicts. But it was never the only theory. Design-defect claims, fraudulent-concealment claims, and negligent-testing claims survived. A bipartisan amendment introduced in Congress the same week the ruling came down could rewrite the law and restore the failure-to-warn theory entirely. And Bayer’s $7.25 billion settlement — the one offering some claimants as little as $6,000 for a cancer diagnosis — is not a gift. It is a trap designed to close your case cheaply before you understand what it is actually worth. We are writing this for one person: you. The person with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who used Roundup and does…

The Philadelphia Talc Verdict: What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because you used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years — or your mother did, or your sister did — and then the diagnosis came, you already know the question that keeps you awake. You are not asking whether the powder was dangerous. You are asking whether it was this powder. Whether the cancer that took over your life, or took your loved one’s life, traces back to something that sat on a bathroom shelf for decades, something that was supposed to be gentle, something marketed for babies. A Philadelphia jury just answered that question for one family. After three weeks of trial and several days of deliberation, twelve people in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County found Johnson & Johnson liable for the ovarian cancer death of a Philadelphia woman who used its baby powder for decades. The jury awarded $50,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages — $250,000 total — to her estate. That verdict, in a case called Emerson v. Johnson & Johnson, Case No. 190509334, is the first time a Philadelphia jury has found J&J responsible for a talc-related death in the roughly 175 cases pending in this city’s mass tort docket. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort and product liability cases and wrongful death claims for families across Pennsylvania and nationwide. We are writing this page for…

When the Product You Trusted for Decades Turns Out to Be the Danger — Philadelphia’s First Talc Verdict and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because you used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years and then heard the word “ovarian cancer” — or because someone you love is gone and you just learned that the powder on the bathroom shelf may have been the reason — we need you to hear something before anything else: a Philadelphia jury has already said this is real. A jury of twelve people in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas sat through three weeks of evidence, deliberated for more than three days, and found that Johnson & Johnson is responsible for a woman’s death from ovarian cancer after she used their talc-based baby powder for more than forty-five years. That verdict is not a lawyer’s argument. It is a finding by ordinary citizens who heard the science, saw the corporate documents, and decided that the company knew and hid the danger. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes Pennsylvania cases, and we are writing this for one person: you, sitting in a kitchen in Philadelphia or a suburb in Montgomery County or a town anywhere in this state, wondering whether what happened to your body — or your mother’s, your wife’s, your sister’s — connects to a product that was supposed to be the gentlest…

New Jersey Is Pulling 150,000 Gallons of Toxic Foam Off Firehouse Shelves — If You Used It, The Clock On Your Rights Has Already Started You are a firefighter in New Jersey. Maybe you are career, maybe you are volunteer — the kind who shows up to the Jacobstown firehouse on a Tuesday night because that is what you do. Maybe you spent twenty years running calls in Camden County, or you trained at the county center where they blanketed an open field with foam so often the grass never grew back right. Maybe you are the spouse sitting at the kitchen table at 2 a.m. with a pathology report that says kidney cancer or testicular cancer or thyroid disease, and you are trying to understand how a person who never smoked, who was strong, who ran into burning buildings for other people’s families, got sick. Or maybe you are not a firefighter at all. Maybe you live in Burlington County on a private well, and you just learned that the foam they sprayed on a car fire on the side of Route 537 ran into the ditch that feeds the aquifer you drink from. You did not choose to be exposed. Nobody asked you. Here is what we know, and what we will not soften: the foam you used, trained with, were soaked in, and watched wash into the ground is called AFFF — aqueous film-forming foam — and it contains PFAS, the chemicals scientists call “forever chemicals” because…

Ocala PFAS Foam Ban and Your Cancer Claim — What Affected Workers and Residents Need to Know You just found out the place where you worked, trained, or lived was contaminated with chemicals that never go away. Maybe a coworker told you. Maybe you read about the lawsuit filed by employees at the College of Central Florida’s Ocala campus. Maybe your doctor connected your diagnosis to something in the water and you are only now learning what that something was. Whatever brought you here, you are in the moment where the fear and the anger arrive together — because the people who were supposed to protect you knew, and the people who made the product knew, and nobody told you. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happened in Ocala, what the law says about it, what your case may be worth, and what to do next. Not a sales pitch — a roadmap. We handle toxic tort claims because the science and the law in these cases are unlike any other injury case, and the difference between a lawyer who understands PFAS bioaccumulation and one who does not can be the difference between a case that gets filed into the national AFFF litigation and one that gets dismissed on a deadline technicality you never saw coming. Here is the first thing you need to hear: what happened to you is not speculative. Florida’s own Department of Environmental Protection tested 29 fire-training centers across the state…

Wilmington, North Carolina PFAS Water Contamination: When the Water You Trusted Carried Chemicals That Never Leave You ran three miles a day. You drank glass after glass of tap water from your kitchen sink in Wilmington because that is what a healthy person does — you hydrate, you train, you trust the water that comes out of your own faucet. You never imagined that the water you were drinking had been carrying invisible, unbreakable toxic chemicals into your body for years. Then your son was born with organs that never developed, and no genetic test could explain why. And then you learned what had been upstream the whole time — a chemical plant that had been dumping forever chemicals into the river that feeds your tap, for decades, while knowing what those chemicals could do. We are writing this for you, and for every family in Wilmington and across the Cape Fear River basin who is sitting at a kitchen table right now trying to understand what PFAS means for their health, their children, and their future. You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. The chemicals are real, the contamination is documented, and the companies who profited from these substances while the science accumulated are being forced to answer for it in courtrooms right now. This page is the most complete explanation we can give you of what happened, what the science says, what North Carolina law allows, what the evidence looks like, what the defense will try, and…
