EAST ST. LOUIS – Global Vasion, a California importer of electric socks from China, dissolved after an Illinois widow claimed a sock caused her husband’s death.
Global Vasion remains a defendant at U.S. district court, but its lawyers at Lewis Rice in St. Louis moved to withdraw on March 3.
Lead counsel Joseph Berra explained it to District Judge David Dugan, under seal.
His motion stated that Global Vasion directed Lewis Rice to stop defending it.
It stated that Global Vasion failed to fulfill an obligation and was reasonably warned that Lewis Rice would withdraw, advising the importer to retain counsel within 21 days of a withdrawal order.
