Related actions can involve different plaintiffs and legal theories. The litigation does not establish a diagnosis for a particular user. Basis: [Court source](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/MDL-3047-Order_Vacating_CTO-7-26.pdf). ## Verified index information - **Full title:** Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation - **District:** CAN - **Master docket:** 4:22-md-3047 - **Judge:** Rogers, Yvonne Gonzalez - **Index report date:** 2026-10-01 - **Report relationship:** Listed in this report - [JPML report](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/Pending_MDL_Dockets_By_MDL_Type-October-1-2026.pdf#page=5) ## Preparation roadmap This is a preparation path, not a court schedule or a promise of a payout. 1. **Understand the matter.** Read the case overview and inspect its official sources. Keep allegations separate from findings. 2. **Explore your connection.** Use optional preparation questions. Interest in a matter is not proof of a claim. 3. **Build your record trail.** Product, medicine or device identity, if known. Add only what you already know or can verify. 4. **Make room for care.** Discuss health concerns independently of any legal claim. Clinical decisions belong with your care team. 5. **Choose professional review.** Start with your existing lawyer if represented. A lawyer reviews deadlines, jurisdiction and any filing or settlement options. ## Existing records that may help - Product, medicine or device identity, if known - An approximate timeline and existing receipts or records - Existing clinical reports and treating-team information ## Care information — separate from legal eligibility ### A conversation with your care team If you have a health concern, your existing clinician can review your history and decide whether specialist input is appropriate. Provider access, cost and clinical need depend on your situation. - Which existing records would help explain my concern? - Who should coordinate any follow-up I need? General information: [HRSA: finding affordable health care](https://www.hrsa.gov/get-health-care/affordable). This does not establish product-specific causation or an available appointment. Care may be accessed independently of a lawsuit. Provider fit, licensure, location, insurance, price and appointment availability have not been confirmed. Settlefy does not prescribe treatment, order tests, promise a cure or recommend stopping medication. Optional OPHealth: user-selected signed reports and measurements can be copied for private review. This is not a booked appointment, provider referral or ongoing medical monitoring. No record is sent to a lawyer through that connection. ## Research material and provenance ### Case MDL No. 3047  Document 813  Filed 08/06/26  Page 1 of 4 - [Original source](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/MDL-3047-Order_Vacating_CTO-7-26.pdf) - Access: Retrieved and text-extracted; current legal interpretation still needs professional review - Retrieved: 2026-10-28T23:20:21.046Z - SHA-256: ed079aa5e5bcc1cfcabd667d8da7ea1816d370b81c06bd15d09c1c5115fa5edf - Text inspection: first 4 PDF pages; attachments or later pages may not be covered. ### Case MDL No. 3047  Document 525  Filed 06/02/25  Page 1 of 4 - [Original source](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/MDL-3047-Transfer_Order-5-25%20%28Sullivan%29.pdf) - Access: Retrieved and text-extracted; current legal interpretation still needs professional review - Retrieved: 2026-10-28T23:20:21.501Z - SHA-256: f979926061845b644f7500909b069fdd7fcffc6d68a18eb51d0fbd6d0e7dd103 - Text inspection: first 4 PDF pages; attachments or later pages may not be covered. ### Case 4:22-md-03047-YGR Document 1267 Filed 10/24/24 Page 1 of 46 - [Original source](https://cand.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/wp-content/uploads/cases-of-interest/InRe-SocialMedia-Adolescent-Addiction-Personal-Injury-Products-Liability-Litigation/MDL-3047-First-Order-re-School-District-Complaint.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ### Case 4:22-md-03047-YGR Document 1290 Filed 10/29/24 Page 1 of 7 - [Original source](https://cand.uscourts.gov/wp-content/uploads/cases-of-interest/InRe-SocialMedia-Adolescent-Addiction-Personal-Injury-Products-Liability-Litigation/MDL-Case-Mgmt-Order-No.-18-CMC-Statements-Experts-Montana.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ### Case 4:22-md-03047-YGR Document 2 Filed 10/11/22 Page 1 of 8 - [Original source](https://cand.uscourts.gov/wp-content/uploads/cases-of-interest/InRe-SocialMedia-Adolescent-Addiction-Personal-Injury-Products-Liability-Litigation/MDL-Case-Mgmt-Order-No.-0-Order-Setting-Initial-Conference.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ## Research gaps and professional review - Verify the operative complaint, later amendments and current court orders. - Verify any settlement notice, administrator, release, deadline and currently open intake. - Obtain current counsel-approved screening criteria; no eligibility rules are approved here. - Have qualified clinicians review any clinical mapping; general care sources are not case criteria. ## Updates [Live case page and source-update coverage](https://settlefy.com/litigation/3047#case-updates).
