Leading brands like Gerber, Beech-Nut, and others allegedly sold products with dangerous levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury, knowing the risks to infant brain development.
*Multiple brands implicated in Congressional Report.
A U.S. Congressional Report revealed that several major baby food manufacturers knowingly sold products containing high levels of toxic heavy metals.
Exposure to heavy metals like **arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury** during infancy is particularly dangerous because babies' brains are rapidly developing. Even small amounts can interfere with neurological development, leading to permanent conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Spectrum disorders impacting communication & behavior.
Severe attention deficit & hyperactivity.
Cognitive decline linked to lead exposure.
Aggression and learning disabilities.
Note: Lawsuits allege companies set their own internal standards for heavy metals that were dangerously high, ignoring FDA guidance.
Settlement values in mass torts depend on the severity of the injury and the strength of the evidence linking it to the product. These are estimates.
Mild ADHD or Autism diagnoses with less consistent product usage history.
Moderate Autism/ADHD requiring therapy/medication, strong proof of brand loyalty.
Severe Autism requiring lifelong care, clear link to high-metal products, no family history.

If your child consumed these products and developed Autism or ADHD, you may be eligible for compensation.
The Congressional Report and subsequent lawsuits have implicated brands such as Gerber, Beech-Nut, Nurture (Happy Baby), Hain Celestial (Earth's Best Organic), Campbell Soup (Plum Organics), Walmart (Parent's Choice), and Sprout Organic Foods.
Some specific products have been recalled, but many products with elevated heavy metals remain on shelves because the FDA is still in the process of setting stricter limits. The lawsuits allege that companies set their own internal standards that were dangerously high.
Key evidence includes medical records confirming an Autism or ADHD diagnosis and proof of purchase or use of the specific baby food brands (receipts, loyalty card records, photos, or sworn testimony).
