Roblox Faces Federal Lawsuit Over Alleged Teen Exploitation; New Ozempic Suit Alleges Eye Damage; Iconic 'Got Milk?' Campaign Rebooted

SAN FRANCISCO – A federal lawsuit was filed against the popular gaming platform Roblox today, alleging it enabled the sexual exploitation of a teenage girl. The serious legal challenge came on a busy news day that also saw a new lawsuit filed against the makers of the blockbuster drug Ozempic over alleged side effects, while on a lighter note, the iconic "Got Milk?" campaign was rebooted for its 30th anniversary with a new generation of stars.

Major Legal Challenges Target Roblox and Ozempic

A federal lawsuit filed by the law firm BRADLEY/GROMBACHER on behalf of a 14-year-old girl accuses Roblox of creating a dangerous environment that enabled her to be groomed and sexually exploited on the platform. The suit raises serious questions about the safety measures on one of the world's most popular online gaming platforms for children.

In the pharmaceutical space, the national law firm Parker Waichman LLP filed a lawsuit in New Jersey against the makers of Ozempic. The suit was filed on behalf of a Baltimore resident who alleges she developed a non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, an irreversible eye condition, after taking the widely prescribed diabetes and weight-loss drug.

Adding to the theme of consumer protection, a new report from PatientRightsAdvocate.org (PRA) exposed what it called an "egregious lack of price transparency from hospitals nationwide," alleging that many institutions are still not complying with federal rules requiring them to post their prices.
