Recent investigations have found that a disturbing number of popular baby food brands contain dangerous levels of heavy metals, including:
These heavy metals are neurotoxins, and when babies are exposed to them over time, they may experience cognitive delays, behavioral issues, and even developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Some of the affected baby food brands include:
If you purchased and fed your child baby food made by these companies—and your child was later diagnosed with a qualifying condition—our legal team may be able to help.
Heavy metals naturally exist in soil and water, but they are also present in synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Unfortunately, many baby food companies have failed to implement strategies such as bioremediation or organic farming practices to eliminate these contaminants from their supply chains.
A 2021 report from the consumer advocacy group Healthy Babies Bright Futures tested 168 baby food containers. Shockingly, only 9 were free of neurotoxins, and over 90% contained measurable levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, or mercury.
Despite growing awareness, the FDA has only limited regulation over heavy metals in baby food—allowing companies to continue selling potentially dangerous products.
In addition to contaminated baby food, research is also raising concerns about the use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy. Prolonged prenatal exposure to acetaminophen may increase the risk of neurological disorders in children, especially when combined with other environmental risk factors like heavy metal exposure from food.
If you used Tylenol while pregnant and later fed your baby food linked to neurotoxins, and your child was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, you may qualify to file a dual claim.
To be eligible for compensation, your child must have been diagnosed with one of the following autism spectrum disorders before the age of six:
You may also be eligible if you used Tylenol during pregnancy and your child later received one of these diagnoses, even if baby food was not a factor.
Many parents turn to store-bought baby food soon after ending breastfeeding. These products—especially purees, rice cereals, and puff snacks—are often consumed for months or years during early brain development, when exposure to neurotoxins is most damaging.
Likewise, Tylenol is frequently used during pregnancy for headaches, pain, or fever—often without understanding the potential long-term risks to the unborn child.
If your child was exposed to either or both of these substances and later diagnosed with ASD, you may have legal options.
The FDA has set a few limits for certain heavy metals—such as arsenic in rice cereal—but many baby food products remain unregulated. Advocacy efforts, including the Baby Food Safety Act of 2021, propose stricter limits on:
