info_outlineHappy Halloween! It is time for a special themed episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!
The theme? Mass tort “horror stories”.
Depo-Provera is the latest bone-chilling mass tort case that’s scaring people left and right. Depo-Provera is a birth control injection linked to an increased risk of cranial meningiomas, or brain tumors.
