Member cases in Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation at the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (4:22-md-3047) reached some 180 Friday, as lawsuits continue to be consolidated under U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers for Northern California in Oakland (see 2304130042). The lawsuits, brought by individuals and school districts, assert Facebook, Instagram, Google, Snapchat and TikTok are responsible for a growing youth mental health crisis in the U.S. A dozen related cases were transferred since Wednesday.
