OAKLAND, Calif. (Legal Newsline) – Class action lawyers have hit a major snag in their lawsuit that claims Clorox’s marketing of its bleach gel product misled customers into thinking it is suitable for disinfecting.
Oakland, Calif., federal court judge Phyllis Hamilton on Jan. 21 threw out the case but will give plaintiffs lawyers a shot to file an amended complaint that fixes the original’s problem, though she is “skeptical” that can be done.
Attorneys at Levinson Stockton, Telfer Faherty and Wright Law Office are pursuing the case but encountered Clorox’s “read the label” defense last year.
“The Splash-Less label at issue, in contrast to the Regular-Bleach label, made no disinfection or sanitization claim dooming plaintiff’s theory that Clorox affirmatively misrepresented the properties of the Splash-Less product,” the company’s motion to dismiss said.
If ever a story provided a strange snapshot of the Gubu Ireland before referenda and social change brought us kicking and screaming into the modern world, it is surely that of Dr Andrew Rynne. In the 70s, the media cast the pioneering vasectomy doctor as a kind of medical renegade, as he helped scores of Irish men avoid endless fatherhood. He prescribed the contraceptive pill to women before it was legal in Ireland. A priest called to his house and urged him to stop his work with vasectomies. His own father sought to have him excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Any interference with the Irish tendency to large families was considered borderline heretical.
