0:59Now PlayingBaum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman attorney Pedram Esfandiary, who helped take on Monsanto and won multiple verdicts, discusses the problem behind toxic metals in baby food. In February of 2021, a congressional subcommittee published a report detailing high amounts of heavy metals from several leading manufacturers (read on to see which baby foods to avoid).
The 2021 government report on baby food found high levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury in foods from the following brands:
Beech-Nut Nutrition Company
Plum Organics
Gerber
Hain Celestial Group Inc. – Earth’s Best Organic
Nurture Inc. –Happy Family Organics and HappyBABY
Sprout Foods Inc.
Walmart Inc. – Parent’s Choice
“Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic were found in substantial quantities in baby food that children every day across the U.S are consuming,” Esfandiary says. “Importantly, this revelation was based upon internal testing done by baby food manufacturers themselves, and submitted to Congress.”
Following the publication of that report and a subsequent public outcry, there was, in fact, a recall of one of the baby food products from the U.S. market. Manufacturer Beech-Nut recalled its baby food rice cereal and exited the rice cereal market, citing concerns over high levels of arsenic in the baby foods. Walmart issued a baby food recall just a few short months later.

The law firm of Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman is outraged by the recklessness of these baby food companies and we intend to hold them accountable in baby food heavy metal lawsuits. If you fed your child baby food from any of these manufacturers and your child developed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD), you may have a claim.
