High Court Keeps Alive Texas Couple’s Tainted Baby Food Lawsuit Against Whole Foods
The Supreme Court unanimously allowed a Texas couple to proceed in state court with their lawsuit accusing Whole Foods and Earth’s Best baby food of poisoning their son with heavy metals, reviving the case after prior dismissals and back-and-forth between state and federal courts. The decision affirms the plaintiffs’ right to pursue claims in state court and follows watchdog findings about toxic metals in some baby foods.
