Parker Waichman targets alcohol industry in potential class-action lawsuit over cancer risks

Parker Waichman LLP, a New York City law firm, is seeking plaintiffs for a class-action lawsuit against the alcohol industry. This follows a recent advisory from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, which warned that alcohol consumption increases cancer risk. The firm aims to hold alcohol manufacturers accountable for not warning the public about these risks. They are looking for individuals diagnosed with cancer linked to alcohol consumption to join the lawsuit. Experts suggest that proving a direct link between alcohol and cancer may be challenging. The law firm plans to establish negligence and personal harm to support their case.
