“It’s an honor to join this group and fight for the justice that many families deserve,” Rizkalla said. “Both of these cases deal with parents being deceived into believing that a product was safe for their children, when in reality they are related to serious medical conditions. We do this work to make sure these families get justice and to stop companies from continuing to harm families.”
Rizkalla was appointed to the plaintiffs’ leadership team by the Honorable Judge Denise L. Cote of the Southern District of New York. As part of leadership, Rizkalla will be assisting the families of children who have been diagnosed with autism as the result of their mothers prenatal use of the pain reliever acetaminophen.

The Carlson Law Firm is accepting a growing number of families affected by the acetaminophen manufacturers’ negligence.

These lawsuits allege that the companies have purposefully hidden relevant information about how addictive and harmful their algorithms are for teens.
The Carlson Law Firm is representing a growing number of families affected by social media’s harmful algorithms.
