Take the Super out of El Super
#4  Take the Super out of El Super
Los Angeles, CA - Not once but twice has the California Labor Commissioner’s Office fined Bodega Latina (doing business as El Super) grocery stores for not providing or delaying supplemental paid sick leave or other benefits to 240 workers affected by COVID-19. In July Bodega Latina was fined $447,876 for similar California labor violations that affected 95 grocery store employees.

Another Monsanto Roundup Loss for Bayer
#5  Another Monsanto Roundup Loss for Bayer
Philadelphia, PA - A Pennsylvania man was awarded a massive $2.25 billion after a Pennsylvania jury unanimously ruled that Bayer’s Roundup caused his non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Weight Loss Drugmakers Face Stomach Paralysis Lawsuits
#6  Weight Loss Drugmakers Face Stomach Paralysis Lawsuits
Santa Clara, CA - A drugmaker’s dream is a patient continuing treatment and forever refilling prescriptions--and that spells profit.  Such is the case with the weight loss drugs because discontinuing them leads to regaining lost weight. Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy are star performers, but a drugmaker’s nightmare is the serious side effects that leads to lawsuits, particularly when the manufacturers failed to disclose potential long-term impacts of serious injuries such as gastroparesis.

#7  Seroquel Side Effects for the Elderly
Pearblossom, CA - Seroquel is a neuroleptic indicated for the treatment of bipolar disorder—and like most drugs carries a host of Seroquel side effects, including diabetes, tardive dyskinesia and even birth defects. However, there is a little-known use for Seroquel off-label that concerned the daughter of one Alzheimer's patient for whom she was caring.
