What’s the Problem?

Although we are not aware of any lawsuits being filed against W.W. Industrial Group, Inc., we are actively investigating potential claims involving heavy‑metal poisoning symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, neurological effects, developmental delays, and learning disabilities.
