Rochester Assisted Living Negligence: When a Physician’s Order Was Ignored and a Resident Died You are reading this because someone you love is gone, and the reason they are gone does not make sense to you. A doctor told the facility exactly what to do. The facility did not do it. Your family member choked not once, not twice, but three times over sixteen days — and after the third time, they did not come home. The Minnesota Department of Health investigated and wrote it down in a public report: this was neglect. Not a miscommunication. Not an accident. Neglect. We are Attorney911. We handle wrongful death and catastrophic-injury cases, and we take Minnesota cases. This page is for the family of a resident who died at Cascade Creek Memory Care in Rochester — and for every family in Olmsted County who needs to understand what the law does when an assisted living facility fails at the most basic duty it owes a vulnerable adult: following the doctor’s orders. What happened here is not complicated. A dementia resident choked. A doctor ordered that all food be cut into pieces smaller than a quarter. The Minnesota Department of Health found no…

3M PFAS documentary: What the company knew about PFAS – FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul

Cottage Grove, Minnesota: 3M PFAS Contamination and Your Legal Rights If you live in Cottage Grove, Woodbury, Oakdale, Lake Elmo, or anywhere along the east metro corridor of the Twin Cities, you have been hearing about 3M and PFAS for years. You may have shrugged it off, trusted the water filters, or assumed the 2018 settlement fixed it. On May 1, 2026, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency filed a new lawsuit saying the contamination is still happening — at concentrations as high as 310,000 parts per trillion in some locations, a number so far above the federal safety limit that it changes the conversation from “is the water safe?” to “who is going to be held accountable for what it already did to my family?” We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle toxic tort and environmental contamination cases, and we built this page for one person: the east metro resident who just read the headline, turned to their spouse, and said, “Could this be why?” Maybe why the kidney cancer. Maybe why the thyroid disease. Maybe why the pregnancy was so hard. Maybe just why the water never tasted right. This page is not about the…

Minnesota Talc Mesothelioma Verdict: What It Means for You and Your Family You are sitting with a pathology report that says mesothelioma, and you are trying to understand how this happened. You never worked in a shipyard. You never installed insulation. You never tore out a boiler. You used baby powder. You used body powder, shower-to-shower, the same products on the drugstore shelf your whole life. And nobody told you that the talc in those products could carry asbestos — or that the company that sold them to you may have known for decades. A Minnesota jury has now answered the question you are asking. They found Johnson & Johnson liable for mesothelioma caused by asbestos-contaminated cosmetic talc, sharing responsibility with other manufacturers along the talc supply chain, and returning a significant personal injury award for the plaintiff. That verdict is not just a number on a page. It is twelve Minnesotans looking at the evidence and saying: this product caused this cancer, and the company that sold it is responsible. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We take toxic tort and product liability cases in Minnesota and nationwide, working with local counsel where required. This page…

Minnesota’s $10.2 Million Talc Mesothelioma Verdict: Store-Brand Powders, Hidden Asbestos, and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this page, someone you love has been diagnosed with mesothelioma — or you have received that diagnosis yourself — and you are trying to understand how a product you used every day, something you bought at Walmart or Walgreens or Target without a second thought, could have carried asbestos into your lungs. You are probably in one of two moments: the shock of a diagnosis that came out of nowhere, or the grinding aftermath where the medicine is real, the prognosis is short, and the bills are mounting. Either way, you need to know what just happened in a Minnesota courtroom, because it may change what is possible for your family. A Minnesota jury awarded $10.2 million to a 43-year-old man and his wife after finding that manufacturers of store-brand talc body and foot powders — the generic, trusted, everyday products sold on shelves at Walmart, Walgreens, and Target — were responsible for the asbestos exposure that caused his mesothelioma. The verdict is the second-largest mesothelioma award in Minnesota history. It names companies most consumers have never heard of,…

Minnesota Talc Mesothelioma Verdict: What a $10.2 Million Jury Award Means for Your Family If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma — and you are sitting with the knowledge that they used talcum powder products for years, maybe decades — you are in the right place. The diagnosis is the earthquake. The question of what caused it is the aftershock that does not stop. And the fear that it might be too late to do anything about it is the thing keeping you awake. We want you to know three things before anything else. First: a Minnesota jury has already heard evidence that cosmetic talc products can cause mesothelioma, and that jury returned a $10.2 million verdict against Merck and several cosmetic talc manufacturers — one of the largest personal injury awards related to cosmetic talc in Minnesota history. The legal path has been walked. Second: mesothelioma’s latency period — the time between exposure and diagnosis — is often twenty to fifty years. Product use from decades ago is not just relevant; it is the core of the case. Third: Minnesota’s statute of limitations for personal injury is among…

Minnesota Jury Sends a $10.2 Million Message: Asbestos in Talc Body Powder Caused This Man’s Mesothelioma If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because you or someone you love used talc body powder for years and just heard the word mesothelioma, we want you to know three things before anything else. First: what happened to you is not a mystery — it is a recognized, documented, and litigated harm that juries are now validating. Second: the fact that you used a product on your skin every day, a product sold as pure and gentle, does not make this your fault or your burden to explain. Third: the law gives you a path, but that path has a clock on it, and the proof that wins these cases is perishable in ways most people never imagine. A Minnesota jury just awarded $10.2 million to a husband and wife after finding that asbestos-contaminated talc in body powder products made by major manufacturers caused his mesothelioma. He was 43 years old. He had used talc products his entire life. The jury listened to the science, examined the evidence, and decided that the companies that mined, processed, formulated, and sold those products are…

Minnesota $10.2 Million Talc Mesothelioma Verdict: Asbestos in Everyday Powder, Corporate Knowledge Going Back a Century, and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this page, someone you love has been diagnosed with mesothelioma — or you have — and you cannot figure out how it happened, because nobody in your family ever worked in a shipyard or a factory with exposed asbestos pipes. You used baby powder. You used body powder. You used foot powder. You used them the way everyone did — daily, for years, maybe decades — and nobody ever told you that the powder you were shaking onto your children, dusting onto your skin, or breathing in every morning could contain microscopic asbestos fibers that would, thirty or forty years later, turn into a cancer that has no cure. A Minnesota jury just answered that question for a family in your state. In a verdict believed to be the second-highest mesothelioma personal injury award in Minnesota history, a jury awarded $10.2 million to a 43-year-old man and his wife after finding that decades of exposure to asbestos-contaminated talc products caused his mesothelioma diagnosis. The jury found five manufacturers responsible — the companies behind…

A Minnesota Jury Spoke — and the Judge Refused to Silence Them If you are reading this at two in the morning, you already know the question that brought you here. You used talc powder for years — maybe decades. Johnson’s Baby Powder, Shower to Shower, something that sat on a bathroom shelf since you were a teenager.

We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort cases and the catastrophic injuries they cause.

Cottage Grove PFAS Contamination: Minnesota’s New Lawsuit Against 3M and What It Means for Your Family If you live in Cottage Grove, or Woodbury, or Oakdale, or any of the east-metro communities that sit on the same groundwater aquifers that 3M’s chemical plant has been sitting on for seventy years, you already know this story. You have been hearing about PFAS — “forever chemicals” — for over a decade. You watched the state sue 3M in 2010. You watched the $850 million settlement in 2018. You watched 3M disclose a previously undisclosed chemical release in 2020. You may have had your water tested, or switched to bottled water, or installed a filtration system. And now, in May 2026, you are reading that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has filed a new lawsuit — alleging that 3M’s Cottage Grove plant is still releasing PFAS into groundwater and the Mississippi River, that hazardous waste containers were never removed, and that a $300 million treatment system does not actually stop contaminated water from reaching the river. Here is the single most important thing this page will tell you: the state’s lawsuit does not compensate you. It seeks civil penalties, cleanup costs, and natural…
