Every summer, thousands of people across the country head outside to mow their lawns expecting a routine chore. What many do not expect is that a lawnmower can send someone to the hospital in seconds. Lawnmower injuries are among the most severe and permanently life-altering accidents a person can suffer at home, and in Pennsylvania, victims of these accidents have real legal options. If you or someone you love has been seriously hurt in a...Read More - Representing Child Survivors Of Sexual Abuse: Trauma-Informed Tips Every Attorney Should Know

Jun 2, 2026
You trusted a surgical team to operate carefully and close the incision cleanly. But weeks or months later, you are back in the hospital, this time with unexplained pain, a dangerous infection, or an abscess that should not exist. When doctors investigate, they find something that was never supposed to stay: a surgical sponge, a clamp, a piece of gauze. Retained surgical instruments are one of the most serious and preventable forms of medical malpractice,...Read More - 7-OH Injury Lawsuits: What Consumers Need to Know About the Risks, Addiction Claims, and Emerging Litigation
May 21, 2026
In recent years, products containing 7-Hydroxymitragynine, commonly called “7-OH”, have rapidly appeared in smoke shops, gas stations, vape stores, and online marketplaces across the United States. Marketed as legal wellness products, pain relief supplements, or kratom alternatives, many of these products are now facing scrutiny from consumers, physicians, regulators, and plaintiffs’ attorneys. A growing number of lawsuits allege that concentrated 7-OH products are far more potent than natural kratom, highly addictive, and capable of causing serious...Read More - Kratom and 7-OH Lawsuits: What Consumers Need to Know
May 15, 2026
Kratom, a drug often marketed as a “natural” remedy for pain relief, increased energy, mood enhancement, or opioid withdrawal support, has gained popularity in recent years despite growing concerns about its safety. Likewise, 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is a highly potent derivative of kratom that is stronger than morphine and carries severe risks including addiction and overdose due to respiratory depression. Kratom and 7-OH are widely sold throughout the United States in gas stations, smoke shops, convenience stores,...Read More - Analemma Water Bottle Recall: What Should You Do If You Were Injured?
May 13, 2026
If you bought an Analemma water bottle, this recall is something you should take seriously. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that Analemma-branded water bottles were recalled because the inner glass liner can break, creating laceration and ingestion hazards that could lead to serious injury or death. The recall affects about 800 bottles sold online from November 2025 through February 2026 for about $250. CPSC also reported 20 incidents involving broken glass liners, including...Read More - Ongoing Uber and Lyft Sexual Assault Litigation
May 13, 2026
Our Lawyers help sexual assault survivors pursue claims against rideshare giants Uber and Lyft. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft make getting around more convenient than ever before. They promote their services as safe, showing advertising of women riding alone in their vehicles. They have changed the way we get around, and made taxis virtually extinct. While the public has embraced Uber and Lyft, they likely are unaware of the risks associated with using these rideshare...Read More - Ongoing Roblox Litigation
May 13, 2026
At Anapol Weiss, we are fighting for families whose children have been harmed by online platforms that failed to keep them safe. Roblox markets itself as a place for kids, yet predators have used it, often in combination with Discord, to groom, exploit, and in some cases lure children into real-world harm. Below is a running record of the cases our firm has filed on behalf of minors, the open letters our client families have...Read More - Thermos Recall and Eye Injuries: Why a Corporate Press Release Is Not Justice for Victims
May 4, 2026
By the Trial Team at Anapol Weiss A recall is a piece of paper. It is not a check for your medical bills. It is not a phone call telling you your vision is coming back. And it is not, on its own, accountability. That is worth remembering this week, because on April 30, 2026, Thermos LLC and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced one of the largest household-product recalls in years: roughly 8.2 million Stainless...Read More - Why Are Children More Vulnerable to Online Predators on Roblox Than Other Games?
May 2, 2026
It starts the way it always does. Your child asks to download a game everyone at school is playing. You check it out. It looks colorful, creative, even educational. Millions of kids are on it. It can’t be that dangerous, right? Then you hear a story on the news. A parent in another state. A child who was contacted, manipulated, or groomed through the very same platform. Suddenly, the question shifts. It’s not is Roblox safe, but...Read More
