Injuries Linked to TikTok Addiction
Families are suing TikTok over serious mental health harm that followed compulsive use of the app. These are the injuries our cases involve.
The lawsuits against TikTok say the app was built to keep kids scrolling — and that the company knew heavy use was linked to serious mental health problems but didn't warn families. If your child developed one of the conditions below after spending hours a day on TikTok (or Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat or Facebook), you may have a claim.
If your child is in danger right now, call 911. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988 any time.
