How would I have known to file a lawsuit about something when I had no knowledge of the situation for years?

  Is that what class actions are about? Wouldn't you get contacted somehow?

  You were possibly poisoned, probably intentionally, by an entity that intended to and did profit by it. You may get a small amount of money if you have the luck and the resources to capitalize on it. There's nothing unique or novel about this situation. Is it surprisingly that it happened or just surprising that it happened to you? This is what we do son, this is what american is for. This is the system working as intended.

    It's not surprising - I know the points you're making and I agree with them. I'm posing a question I think we should discuss. What should my recourse be? In reality, the absolute harm done to me (if any) is probably very limited. Maybe my lifelong risk of cancer has gone up by some quite small amount. The greater harm is damage to my trust in the organizations that produce my necessary medications. So the recourse is probably not giving me anything extravagant, it's probably more about some sort of fix to oversight, regulation, corporate penalties paid for this, etc. None of which is likely to happen as a result of a lawsuit, except maaaybe the last one.

      Perhaps you could sue them for the cost of cancer insurance, or for the increase in cost of insurance due to increased cancer risk.
