A judge has approved a $535 million talc bankruptcy settlement despite objections that it provides too little for asbestos claimants.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael B. Kaplan approved the agreement on October 22 in Whittaker, Clark & Daniels’ New Jersey bankruptcy. The deal resolves claims involving Berkshire Hathaway’s National Indemnity, Brenntag, and other associated companies.

Whittaker filed for bankruptcy in 2023 after facing roughly 2,700 lawsuits alleging that talc it supplied contained asbestos and caused cancer. Claimant representatives sought permission to pursue additional recovery from non-bankrupt affiliates, but Kaplan ruled that the disputed claims belonged to Whittaker’s bankruptcy estate.

The judge found the settlement fair and reasonable. A lawyer representing asbestos claimants said she plans to appeal, meaning approval does not end the dispute or establish individual payout amounts.

Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram head Adam Mosseri are expected to testify in a social media addiction trial scheduled to begin October 28 in Los Angeles.

Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl rejected Meta’s attempt to block their testimony. Under a tentative schedule, Zuckerberg would appear November 10, followed by Mosseri on November 19. Those dates remain subject to change.

The trial will bring two young plaintiffs’ claims before one jury in California’s coordinated state-court litigation. They allege that platform designs encouraged compulsive use and contributed to serious mental health injuries. Meta and Snap remain defendants after YouTube and TikTok settled these plaintiffs’ claims on undisclosed terms.

The upcoming testimony could bring executive decision-making and youth safety practices into focus. The allegations remain contested, and no liability has been established in these two cases.

Meta has been ordered to pay New Mexico $25 billion over misleading statements about Facebook’s privacy and platform practices.

Judge Francis Mathew imposed the penalty on October 21, following a September jury verdict finding nearly 43.9 million violations of the state’s Unfair Practices Act. The case arose from the Cambridge Analytica scandal and allegations concerning Facebook’s assurances about user data and content moderation.

The judge concluded that the maximum statutory penalty would exceed $219 billion, but reduced the amount to $25 billion. It is one of the largest penalties imposed against a technology company.

Unlike the state’s earlier request for $35 billion to $40 billion, this is a court-ordered penalty. Meta disputes the judgment and says it will appeal, so the amount could still change. This is a state enforcement action, not an individual compensation program or settlement.

A federal judge has dismissed autism and ADHD claims in the baby food litigation, but other alleged injury claims remain unresolved.

On October 14, U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley granted partial summary judgment to manufacturers in the Northern District of California. Following earlier exclusions of expert testimony, the court found that plaintiffs lacked admissible evidence establishing that the alleged heavy-metal exposure could cause autism or ADHD.

The ruling does not end the entire proceeding. Claims involving other alleged injuries, including IQ loss and learning disabilities, remain pending because general causation discovery did not focus on those injuries. Claims involving infant formula are also outside the ruling’s scope.

This decision narrows the litigation without resolving every allegation or establishing that all products and exposures are harmless.

Hundreds of Tylenol lawsuits remain revived after an appeals court rejected the defendants’ request for reconsideration.

On October 16, the Second Circuit denied a rehearing request from Kenvue and several retailers, leaving its earlier ruling on plaintiffs’ expert testimony in place. That ruling revived lawsuits alleging that prenatal acetaminophen exposure caused autism or ADHD.

The underlying appeal concerned whether the trial court improperly excluded expert testimony. The appeals court upheld the exclusion of two experts but rejected the exclusion of three others, returning the cases for further proceedings.

This is a procedural development, not a finding that acetaminophen causes autism or ADHD, a liability verdict, or a settlement. The plaintiffs still must prove their claims.

3M is challenging the legal foundation of Australia’s PFAS lawsuit, which seeks more than $2 billion over contamination at 28 military bases.

At an October 16 hearing, 3M’s lawyer argued that Australia’s public nuisance claim does not meet the requirements of Australian law. The company also plans to argue that some consumer-protection claims involving decades-old statements about its firefighting foam are time-barred. These are defense arguments, not court rulings dismissing the case.

Australia alleges that 3M failed to adequately warn about the foam’s risks. The government says it has spent approximately $1.3 billion addressing contamination, including $408 million in settlements with affected communities, and is seeking recovery for past and future costs.

3M’s defense is due December 11, and the case is expected to return to court in December. No liability has been established in this proceeding.

Newly disclosed allegations against Character AI are putting its chatbot safety protections under renewed scrutiny.

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman filed an unredacted complaint on October 7, revealing allegations that some chatbot responses encouraged self-harm, starvation, and su***de. The disclosure adds detail to a state enforcement lawsuit originally filed in January.

Kentucky alleges that the platform prioritized engagement over children’s well-being and failed to provide adequate safeguards. The filing does not identify every user’s age, although the state alleges that at least some were children. Reuters reported that the circumstances surrounding the cited conversations were unclear.

Character AI has previously said it prioritizes user safety, but did not immediately respond to Reuters about the newly disclosed allegations. The claims have not been proven in court.

Bard PowerPort’s fourth federal bellwether trial is set for December 1, following a defense verdict and a $40 million plaintiff award in the first two trials.

The upcoming case involves Missouri plaintiff Judy Hicks, who alleges that a PowerPort implanted during breast cancer treatment was associated with a Staph infection and clotting complications. She underwent two procedures to remove the device and remaining components. These allegations have not been decided at trial.

More than 4,000 lawsuits are pending in the Arizona MDL, involving allegations of catheter fractures, migration, infections, and other serious complications. The third bellwether was scheduled to begin October 13, with a fifth set for February 2, 2027.

A final pretrial conference in Hicks’ case is scheduled for October 26. The bellwethers provide case-specific tests of the evidence, but their verdicts do not automatically determine liability or compensation in the remaining lawsuits.

The Supreme Court has sent a $28 million Roundup judgment back for reconsideration, showing how an appellate ruling can reshape a case long after a jury verdict.

The October 13 action concerns Mike Dennis, who alleged that Roundup caused his mycosis fungoides, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His original $332 million jury award was reduced to $28 million before the case reached the Supreme Court.

The central issue now is preemption: whether federal pesticide law prevents a state-law claim from requiring a cancer warning that is absent from the EPA-approved label. In its June decision in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, the Supreme Court held that it does.

The California appeals court must reconsider Dennis’ case under that ruling. This is not a new jury assessment of the cancer evidence, and it should not be described as a final ruling on every possible Roundup claim.

What stands out to me is the distinction between evidence and legal viability. A substantial verdict can still face a decisive challenge over whether the underlying claim is permitted by law, making the specific legal theory just as important to watch as the damages figure.

The Camp Lejeune litigation is approaching its first trial, with a kidney cancer case scheduled to begin October 26 before U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle.

A second kidney cancer bench trial is set for November 9. Because these are bench trials, Judge Boyle, rather than a jury, will decide the evidence, liability, and any damages. The results will not resolve the broader litigation, but they could provide an early signal of how the court evaluates the claims.

The parties face an October 16 deadline to submit amended pretrial materials, including narrowed witness and exhibit lists. They also remain under a court-directed October 30 target to use their best efforts toward a broader resolution. No global settlement has been announced.

The Department of Justice reports that, as of September 18, settlement offers exceeded $1.1 billion and payouts exceeded $879 million. Those figures reflect the existing settlement process and do not establish the value of every remaining claim.
