In a single day, we use the services and products of countless different organizations—from the gyms we work out in, to the vehicles we rely on, to the medications we take and give to our families. As much as we like to think we can trust the companies that manufacture and endorse these products, that isn’t always the case. The news is filled with stories of people who are harmed by businesses, either through product recalls or dangerous side effects, or even the harmful actions of the people who run these organizations.
Keeping yourself and your loved ones safe means being an educated consumer—and we’re here to make that easy. Our featured blog helps you stay up to date on the newsworthy lawsuits and recalls, including:
- A lawsuit filed against YMCA of Buffalo Niagra, alleging that a one-time assistant director of the LaSalle YMCA and staff member of the Niagara Falls Downtown YMCA committed repeated sexual abuse against a minor.
- Janet, Janet and Suggs’ part in winning a $2.2 billion lawsuit against South Carolina Energy and Gas (SGE&G)for federal racketeering. It was initiated after 1.6 million residents were cheated out of money that was used in the failed construction of a nuclear power plant.
- A $300 million class action lawsuit against blood pressure medication Benicar for the drug company’s failure to warn of the gastrointestinal illnesses the drug may cause.
