Do You Qualify for Toxic Baby Food Autism Compensation?
Recent lawsuits allege that certain baby food brands contained dangerously high levels of heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, which may be linked to developmental disorders, including autism. Research indicates that prolonged exposure to these toxic substances during critical stages of development can harm a child’s brain and nervous system.
