Who qualifies for the toxic baby food lawsuit?
You may qualify if your child regularly ate store-bought baby food and was later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or ADHD, generally at age six or under.
Is it too late to file a toxic baby food claim?
The toxic baby food litigation is active and accepting new claims as of 2026, but every claim has a filing deadline (statute of limitations) that varies by state and by when the injury was discovered. Because missing the deadline can permanently bar a claim, it is best to have your situation reviewed as soon as possible.
How much does it cost to have my case reviewed?
Nothing. Having Omid review your case is free and confidential, and these claims are handled on a contingency-fee basis, so you pay no fee unless compensation is recovered. Depending on the complexity of your case, it may be referred with your approval to a firm with the national resources to handle it, and that same no-fee promise still applies.
