The two main documents needed to support a toxic baby food claim are your child's autism spectrum disorder diagnosis from a medical professional and evidence of product use, which can be receipts or baby food labels.
The foundation of any toxic baby food claim is the medical records of the child. You will need to submit an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis from your child's physician.
This document should also specify the age at which your child was formally diagnosed. The most crucial detail is that the ASD diagnosis must have happened before your child's sixth birthday.
The following are the ASD diagnoses that qualify for a toxic baby food claim:

You may submit either photo or physical copies of the baby food's labels. It's best to consult a skilled product liability lawyer to help you gather this evidence.
Keep in mind that you can file a claim if you purchased a product from the following baby food manufacturers:
For parents who cannot provide evidence of product use, there's no need to worry. You may also submit supporting documents such as a heavy metal test.
