April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.

May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

If you or someone you love has suffered mistreatment at Cinnamon Hills Youth Crisis Center, you are not alone, and you have the right to pursue justice and healing. Facilities like Cinnamon Hills, a residential treatment center in St. George, Utah, are meant to provide support and care for vulnerable youth. However, allegations of abuse, neglect, and misconduct have cast a shadow over its mission, leaving many families devastated and searching for answers.

Cinnamon Hills is a facility designed to help youth facing behavioral, emotional, and mental health challenges. The center provides residential treatment with the goal of helping young people stabilize and develop the skills they need to thrive. Many families turn to such facilities during times of crisis, believing they will provide a safe and supportive environment for their children.
However, Cinnamon Hills has faced serious allegations and regulatory action over the years, raising concerns about the safety and well-being of its residents.

Incident of Sexual Abuse
In 2008 a particularly egregious case, staff member Joy Lynette Andrews was arrested and charged with sexually abusing a 16-year-old female resident. She pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to prison, marking a dark chapter in the facility's history.

"We do not identify victims of sexual abuse without their consent. Confidentiality, Safety, & Justice are our top priorities."

Reports of Excessive Force & Neglect
More recently in 2022, Utah regulators disciplined Cinnamon Hills after multiple incidents involving staff misconduct. Reports surfaced of staff using excessive force and improper restraints on residents, including an incident that resulted in a fractured elbow. The state prohibited the facility from accepting new clients until corrective actions, such as staff retraining, were completed.

Abuse and neglect in treatment facilities can have devastating, long-term effects on survivors. The trauma from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can lead to struggles with trust, mental health challenges, and difficulty reintegrating into society. Survivors often feel silenced or powerless, but it’s important to know that you are not alone, and there are paths to healing and justice.
