For beauty companies, consumer harm is just “part of the business plan”.
Attorney Whitney Ray Di Bona has sued Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Avon, Maybelline, CoverGirl, Ford, and a long list of pharmaceutical and pesticide companies. The pattern she keeps finding is the same: The company knew, the consumer didn't.
This episode covers the reality behind talcum powder lawsuits, the Roundup glyphosate cases tied to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the rise in mesothelioma diagnoses in younger women, and how most beauty products on US shelves go through almost no FDA safety testing before hitting the market.
Whitney also walks us through the current Ozempic litigation, the new FDA brain tumor warning added to Depo-Provera birth control shots, and the Supreme Court case on April 27th that could decide whether consumers can continue to sue pesticide companies at all.
Then she gets into the GLP-1 and peptide boom. Compounded drugs prescribed without lab work. Influencers selling peptide stacks for $300 commissions. Telehealth companies shipping next-day injections after a one-page questionnaire.
This is the legal exposure nobody is talking about.
If you've been trying to figure out which products, drugs, and trends are worth the risk, this conversation gives you the framework from someone who sees the worst-case outcomes for a living.
