Spinal cord stimulators may not be nearly as safe as manufacturers let on.

Between 2000 and 2022, more than 80,000 injuries involving stimulators were reported to the federal Food and Drug Administration, with more recent estimates placing this figure even higher. Of all the medical devices currently on the market, stimulators have the third-highest rate of “adverse events,” a designation that includes documented incidences of serious injury, disability, and even death.

Chlorpyrifos is a potent insecticide used to treat crops, protect livestock, and exterminate common household pests. Concerns over its safety led federal regulators to limit residential use in 2001, while New York state recently passed its own all-out ban on most chlorpyrifos-containing pesticides.

The dangers of chlorpyrifos, especially for children, are well-documented. However, scientists at the University of California recently shared the results of a study that reached an alarming conclusion. According to this report, chlorpyrifos does not just hurt kids; it can also increase adults’ long-term risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition with no known cure.

Depo-Provera is one of the most widely prescribed contraceptives on the market.

Across the country, millions of women rely on Depo-Provera. According to some estimates, more than a quarter of all sexually active women in the United States have taken this drug at least once. When it comes to preventing unwanted pregnancies, Depo-Provera is highly effective, and that is not up for debate. And, since it only needs to be taken once every three months, it also represents a convenient alternative to oral birth control.

However, even though Depo-Provera’s reputation as a contraceptive is rock-solid, it is not risk-free.

Tesla has always tried to push modernity to its limits.

Of all the vehicles Tesla has designed and sold since its founding, few make the future look more present than the Cybertruck. Almost everything about the Cybertruck, from its design to its aesthetics, poses a challenge to how people think about automobiles. It is, indisputably, one of the most distinctive and easily recognizable vehicles on the road today.

However, while the Cybertruck is certainly innovative, it is not flawless.

A breast mesh can help provide internal support after cosmetic, reconstructive, or augmentative breast surgery. Since most of these products work by incorporating surgical mesh with your body’s natural tissue, breast meshes are often marketed as a safe way to obtain long-lasting results without compromising appearance. However, regulators have warned that manufacturers’ claims of safety could be misleading. In a recent advisory, the federal Food and Drug Administration emphasized that the “safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh in breast surgery” has not yet been determined.

“There are no surgical mesh products cleared or approved by the FDA for use in breast surgery, including augmentation or reconstruction,” the Food and Drug Administration wrote.

Breast meshes are not inherently unsafe; many women report no complications whatsoever, but a growing body of evidence suggests that meshes could actually present a serious danger to women’s health. According to some studies, up to one-third of all women who receive meshes experience symptoms, including intense pain, localized swelling, and, in some cases, visible deformities. Of these women, about 10% are forced to undergo corrective surgery as a result.

Google is continuing to face scrutiny over the safety of Gemini, an artificial intelligence chatbot that has been linked to multiple cases of injury, self-harm, and suicide.

In a significant development, the family of a Florida man has filed an unprecedented wrongful death lawsuit against Google. Lawyers for the parents of Jonathan Gavalas claim that the 36-year-old man, who worked with his father’s debt relief business in Jupiter, took his own life after developing a one-sided emotional relationship with Gemini.

The Gavalas family’s lawsuit notes that Jonathan started using Gemini last August to help with writing and shopping. He also used Google’s Gemini Live AI assistant, a more advanced artificial intelligence tool that can analyze voice-based chats and detect users’ emotions and mood. At the time, Gavalas seemed impressed with Gemini’s capabilities, telling the chatbot, “You are way too real!”

Ozempic is a fixture of diabetes management and weight-loss regimens.

According to some estimates, more than 15 million Americans have taken Ozempic, Wegovy, or a related medication. These kinds of drugs, termed GLP-1 agonists, can offer immense benefits, but they can also conceal hidden risks. Some of the most dangerous side effects associated with GLP-1 agonists are poorly documented, often to the point that patients receive little to no warning of the potential danger.

If you or a loved one has been injured by Ozempic or another weight loss drug, you could be entitled to significant compensation. Here is what you need to know about:
