It was reported 30 April that Rights For America attorneys, Robert H. Weiss & Stephen Murakami, along with 2 prominent Class Action law firms from Missouri (Scharnhorst Ast & Kennard, P.C.) & Kansas (The Hodges Law Firm), filed a billion dollar consumer class action lawsuit against leading baby bottle manufacturers Avent America, Evenflo, Gerber, Handi-Craft (Dr. Brown's) & Playtex for their use of Bisphenol A in polycarbonate plastic baby bottles & toddler training cups. The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the W District of Missouri pursuant to Missouri Consumer Protection Laws on behalf of the infants & children of Missouri & the US who were unknowingly exposed to BPA through their use of plastic baby bottles & training cups. Robert Weiss filed the first such lawsuit in 2007 in California against the same baby bottle manufacturers. That case is pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court before Judge Victoria Chaney.
