A Pennsylvania state court judge went against the majority of COVID-19 insurance rulings when she ruled Tuesday that an insurer must cover the pandemic-related losses suffered by a downtown Pittsburgh tavern.

SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – Shampoo made by Johnson & Johnson contains ingredients that cause hair loss and/or scalp irritation, a class action lawsuit says.
Three plaintiffs firms - Shub Law Firm, Sciolla Law Firm and Whitfield Bryson – teamed to sue the company March 5 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. They say an ingredient known as DMDM hydantoin is known to slowly leach formaldehyde when coming into contact with water.
The product line at issue is OGX shampoos and conditioners.
“Defendant failed to properly warn consumers of the risks and dangers attendant to the use of such a strong ingredient on their hair and scalp – even well after Defendant knew or should have known of the Products’ hazards,” the complaint says.

NEW YORK (Legal Newsline) – Gateway Energy Services is facing a class action lawsuit that alleges its bad faith pricing practices have burned consumers in New Jersey and other states.
The Feb. 24 lawsuit in New York federal court says Gateway has taken advantage of deregulation in New Jersey to reel in consumers with false promises of market-based variable rates for natural gas and electricity.
“But Defendant’s rates are not competitive, nor are they market-based,” says the lawsuit, filed by Jonathan Shub of Shub Law Firm, as well as lawyers at the firms Frederick Law Group of Pennsylvania and Timoney Knox of Washington, D.C.
