PITTSBURGH – The Coca-Cola Bottling Company has been dismissed from injury litigation surrounding severe burn injuries sustained by a bottling plant batching operator, who claimed that a hose attached to clean-in-place unit separated from its apparatus and sprayed a mixture of harmful chemicals on her body.
A plaintiff in the lawsuit against Stuart Copperman, a former pediatrician accused of sexually abusing patients, who owned and operated a Merrick practice, was awarded $22 million in damages in a Mineola court last Friday.
