North Carolina PFAS Farm Contamination: What Every Grower Needs to Know About Forever Chemicals on Agricultural Land You are sitting at a kitchen table you have probably sat at ten thousand times, and the land outside the window is land your family may have worked for generations. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality just confirmed what a lot of people in the environmental and agricultural communities suspected: PFAS compounds are present in biosolids, in wastewater, and in the soil of permitted fields across this state. If you have ever accepted biosolids as fertilizer—under a state permit, following every rule the government handed you—your soil may contain chemicals you were never told about, never asked about, and never had a chance to refuse. We are Attorney911, and this page is for you: the grower who did everything by the book and may now be holding contaminated land, contaminated crops, and a set of questions no one in authority has answered honestly yet. What follows is not a sales pitch. It is the full picture—the science, the law, the regulatory landscape, the evidence you need to preserve, the insurance plays you will face, and the honest truth about what a case like this is worth. We handle toxic tort cases because this is the kind of fight where a family’s entire livelihood is on the line, and the companies who profited from these chemicals have lawyers who are already working. You should know what they know. What Are PFAS, and Why…

National PFAS “Forever Chemicals” Contamination: 52 Million Americans’ Drinking Water Exceeds EPA Limits — Michigan’s Kalamazoo River Nurdle Spill, AFFF Foam, and Your Legal Rights You are reading this at a kitchen table, or on a phone in a parking lot, or at 2 a.m. because you cannot sleep. Maybe your water utility just sent you a notice that tests found PFAS in your tap water. Maybe you live along the Kalamazoo River and you walked outside to find the shoreline covered in thousands of small plastic pellets that should not be there. Maybe you are a firefighter who spent years standing in AFFF foam at training burns and crash scenes, and a doctor just said the word “cancer.” Whatever brought you here, one thing is true: you just learned that something you cannot see, cannot smell, and cannot taste has been in your water, your soil, or your blood — and the companies that put it there have known for a long time. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are trial lawyers who handle toxic tort and environmental contamination cases and the commercial trucking crashes that can turn a highway into a pollution event. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court.

We work in…

Oakdale PFAS Contamination: 3M’s Forever Chemicals in Your Water — and Your Legal Rights If They Made You Sick If you lived in Oakdale, Lake Elmo, or anywhere across the east Twin Cities metro and you or someone you love has been diagnosed with kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, or liver damage — you may have spent years drinking water contaminated by chemical waste that one of the largest corporations in Minnesota dumped into the ground decades ago. The contamination is still spreading. The settlement that the State of Minnesota reached with 3M in 2018 paid for water treatment and environmental cleanup. It did not pay for your medical bills. It did not pay for your cancer. It did not pay for the years of worry about what else might be growing inside you because of what was in your tap water. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC — and this page is written for one person: the east metro resident who just learned that their diagnosis may be connected to PFAS in their drinking water, and who needs to understand, in plain language, what their legal rights are and what steps to take before the evidence and the deadlines slip away. What Happened to Your Water: 3M’s Decades of PFAS Waste Disposal Across the East Metro PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are human-made chemicals that resist breaking down in the environment. They are called “forever chemicals” because they do not degrade. They persist.…

You Just Found Out Your Water Isn’t Safe — and Nobody Told You How Long It Has Been That Way If you live in Abilene and you just read that the City’s water supply has PFAS — “forever chemicals” — at levels averaging 6.3 times what the EPA says is safe, you are sitting at a kitchen table asking questions that should have been answered for you months or years ago. Is the water making my family sick? How long has this been going on? The City got $8.7 million in settlement money — does any of that come to us? Should I be testing my blood? Should I be worried about the kidney cancer in my family, the thyroid condition, the high cholesterol that never made sense? We are going to answer every one of those questions on this page — not with slogans, but with the actual law, the actual science, and the actual evidence roadmap that a PFAS contamination case in Taylor County demands. We are Attorney911, a Texas trial firm that takes toxic tort cases and fights for families exposed to chemicals that should never have been in their water. We do not get paid unless we win your case. The consultation is free. And the first thing we want you to understand is this: the contamination is documented, the science is real, and you have rights — but the evidence that proves your personal exposure is on a clock, and that clock is already running.…

Roundup Glyphosate Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Claims After SCOTUS FIFRA Preemption: Attorney911 Pursues Bayer and Monsanto on Surviving Design Defect and Fraudulent Concealment Theories — John Durnell’s 20 Years of Roundup Exposure in St. Louis, Missouri, Where the $1.25 Million Verdict Was Reversed but the $7.25 Billion Settlement Fund Remains a Recovery Pathway, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How Bayer’s Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Secure Exposure Records, Purchase Receipts, Oncology Charts and Internal Corporate Documents Before They Degrade — the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

What the Supreme Court Just Did to Your Roundup Cancer Lawsuit in St. Louis, Missouri You are reading this because you used Roundup. Maybe for years — on your farm, your landscaping route, your groundskeeping crew, your garden, your fence line. And then you got the diagnosis: non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. And you filed, or you were about to file, or you were sitting in one of the 65,000 lawsuits still unresolved when the news broke. Now you are staring at a headline that says the Supreme Court just wiped out your case, Bayer’s stock is up 24 percent, and you do not know if you still have a claim. We are going to tell you, clearly and honestly, what this ruling means, what it does not mean, and what you can still do. This page is legal information, not legal advice — but it is written by trial attorneys who have spent decades in courtrooms, who know how preemption doctrine works, who know how mass tort settlement funds operate, and who know what happens to people when a corporation the size of Bayer gets the ruling it spent years engineering. Here is the first thing you need to hear: the Supreme Court did not find that glyphosate is safe. The World Health Organization’s cancer agency still classifies it as a probable human carcinogen. The EPA’s contrary position is itself scientifically contested. What the Court ruled is that federal pesticide labeling law — a regulatory framework — overrides your state’s right to…

Asbestos-Contaminated Talcum Powder & Ovarian Cancer Product Liability Claims — The Lancet Retracts a 1977 Safety Commentary After Historians Expose Johnson & Johnson’s Ghostwriting and Editorial Coordination That Helped Stave Off Federal Asbestos Regulation of Cosmetic Talc, Attorney911 Pursues the Manufacturer in MassTort-National Toxic Tort Litigation, We Secure the Corporate Discovery Memos, Letters and Draft Commentary Proving Decades of Concealed Contamination in Products Women Used Daily, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, Failure-to-Warn and Fraud-Based Punitive Damages Under Controlling Product Liability Doctrine, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims, the Statute of Limitations Is Running on Toxic Exposure Claims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Lancet Retracts a 1977 Talc Safety Commentary After Historians Expose Johnson & Johnson’s Ghostwriting — What This Means for Your Cancer Case If you are reading this, you or someone you love probably used talcum powder for years — maybe decades — and then heard the word cancer. Ovarian cancer. Mesothelioma. A diagnosis that arrived out of nowhere and rearranged everything. You may already be in a lawsuit. You may have watched a defense lawyer stand up in court and wave a 1977 commentary from one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious medical journals, claiming it proved talc was safe. Or you may be sitting at a kitchen table at 2 a.m., wondering whether it is too late to file. On March 25, 2026, The Lancet issued a rare retraction of that very commentary — disavowing it after public health historians uncovered evidence that the piece was not written by the journal’s editors at all. It was, according to the evidence the historians found in corporate records made public through court discovery, secretly authored by a consultant paid by Johnson & Johnson, one of the world’s leading producers of cosmetic talc products. The consultant shared an advance draft with J&J and amended the commentary based on the company’s feedback. The Lancet’s editors in 1977 never knew. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle toxic tort and product liability cases nationwide, and we built this page because this retraction changes the evidentiary landscape for every…

Talc Baby Powder Ovarian Cancer & Wrongful Death Attorneys: Three Los Angeles Families Lost Loved Ones to Fatal Ovarian Cancer Allegedly From Prolonged Perineal Baby Powder Use, and the Second California Talc Bellwether Ended in a Defense Verdict — Yet the First Bellwether Produced a $40 Million Verdict Against the Same Manufacturer, Attorney911 Litigates Talc-Ovarian Cancer Claims Against Johnson & Johnson and Its Talc Supply Chain, We Secure the Internal Corporate Documents, Pathology Slides and Talc-Use History Before the Preservation Clock Expires and the Statute of Limitations Runs, California Strict Products Liability With No Damages Cap and No Federal Preemption Shield for Cosmetic Warning Claims, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Corporate Claims Machine Values and Denies Talc Cases, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Los Angeles Talc Bellwether Verdict: What a Defense Verdict for Johnson & Johnson Really Means for Your Ovarian Cancer Claim If you are reading this because someone you love used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years — maybe decades — and then developed ovarian cancer, and you just saw the headline that a Los Angeles jury found J&J not liable after a six-week trial, stop. Take a breath. That verdict is not the end of your case. It is not the end of talc litigation. And it is not the end of accountability for the families who lost mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters to a disease that may have been caused by a product marketed to them since they were children. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are toxic tort and product liability attorneys who take California cases, and we built this page because the single most dangerous thing about a defense verdict in a bellwether trial is not the verdict itself — it is the silence that follows it. Families read the headline, assume their case is dead, and never call a lawyer. The statute of limitations clock keeps running. The evidence keeps disappearing. And the company that just won gets exactly what it wanted: fewer claims, less pressure, and more time. So here is the first thing you need to hear: in December, in the first California bellwether trial in this same coordinated proceeding, a different jury looked at the same company, the…

Camp Lejeune Oral Cancer After the CLJA Deadline: A Marine Veteran’s Fight and Your Legal Options If you served at Camp Lejeune and just learned you have cancer — oral cancer, or any cancer that is not on the VA’s presumptive list — and someone told you the filing deadline has already passed, you are reading this at the exact moment the government is counting on you to give up. Do not. There are doors still open, doors the government does not advertise, and doors that legislation now moving through Congress may pry wider. We are going to walk you through every one of them. You may be sitting in a hospital room, or at a kitchen table with a folder of VA paperwork that took the better part of a year to fight through. You may have just had surgery that removed part of your jaw, your palate, your nose — rebuilt with bone taken from your leg. You may be looking at a feeding tube and a tracheostomy and wondering how the country you served let you drink poison for three years and then told you to prove it caused your cancer. You may be the spouse, watching someone you love try to eat through a tube while a government form asks for more evidence. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle toxic tort claims and catastrophic injury cases, and we are writing this for you: the Marine, the sailor, the family member, the…

You Just Heard the Supreme Court Ruled for Bayer — Here Is What That Actually Means for Your Roundup Cancer Case If you are reading this at 2 a.m., you probably saw the headline and felt the floor drop. You used Roundup for years — maybe on a farm, maybe on a landscaping crew, maybe just on your own property every weekend. Then the doctor said non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Then you heard there were lawsuits. Then a lawyer said you might have a case. And now the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled in favor of the company that made the product, and you think it is over. It is not over. Not for everyone. And the difference between “over” and “still alive” is something a lawyer who knows this litigation can tell you in one conversation. That is why we are writing this page — not to sell you anything, not to tell you your case is worth millions, but to give you the honest legal map of what just happened, what survives, and what you need to do right now if your case is one of the ones that can still move forward.

Missouri Roundup Lawsuits After the Supreme Court’s FIFRA Preemption Ruling — What Survives, What Doesn’t, and What to Do Now You just heard the news and your stomach dropped. The Supreme Court sided with Bayer. The headlines say thousands of Roundup lawsuits are doomed. You have non-Hodgkin lymphoma. You used Roundup for years — on your garden, your property, the lots you maintained, the fields you worked. And now you are wondering whether your case, the one you were counting on to pay for chemotherapy, to make up for the months of work you could not do, to hold a company accountable for what it put in your hands and told you was safe — whether that case just evaporated on a 7-to-2 vote. It did not. Not all of it. And not the parts that matter most. Here is the first thing to understand, plainly: the Supreme Court did not say Roundup is safe. It did not say glyphosate does not cause cancer. It did not say Monsanto is blameless. It said one specific kind of claim — the claim that Monsanto failed to warn you on the label — is blocked by a federal pesticide law that says states cannot impose labeling requirements different from what the EPA approved. That is a significant ruling. It is not the end of your case. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, and we handle toxic-tort and catastrophic-injury cases in Missouri and nationwide. This page is for you — the…
