Toxic baby food: Who’s affected?
If your child consumed certain brands of baby food and was then diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, you may have a legal claim.
Parents rely on baby food to aid their children’s growth and development. However, some baby foods may contain toxic levels of heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium. These heavy metals are neurotoxins and can have a negative effect on the health of children and adults alike. However, babies are more susceptible to heavy metals and their health effects. Because babies are less able to process heavy metals than adults, these metals can stay in their systems and cause developmental problems. In particular, exposure to heavy metals may be linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
If your child consistently consumed one or more of the following baby foods for at least one year and was diagnosed with autism between the ages of 2 and 14, or severe ADHD between the ages of 8 and 14, and these conditions were not caused by an alternate circumstance, you may have a legal claim:
- Plum Organics
- HappyFamily (HappyBaby, HappyTOT, HappyKid)
- Beech-Nut
- Sprout Organic Food
- Parent’s Choice FOOD Products
- Earth’s Best Organic Food Products
- Gerber

Genetic and environmental factors
Children can develop autism or ADHD from a range of environmental or genetic factors. However, if you believe that your child developed one of these conditions from consuming certain brands of baby food and not from another factor, reach out to a qualified attorney to determine if you may be eligible to participate in a toxic baby food lawsuit investigation.
You may have a legal claim if your child developed autism or ADHD but had no other risk factors that may have contributed to them developing the conditions. ADHD and autism may be linked to a range of genetic and environmental factors, including the following:
- Family history
- Certain genetic conditions like Rett Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, Downs Syndrome, and others
- Physical trauma or injury while in utero or during birth
- Serious infections before birth
- Exposure to other toxins such as illicit drugs, alcohol or pesticides while in utero
However, if your child developed these conditions with none of the following issues but consumed one of the listed brands of baby food that may have contained heavy metals, your child’s diagnosis may be linked to the heavy metals in their food.
