One might have thought that after their feeding frenzy on tobacco, the trial lawyers would be satiated for a while, but they’re not. Now they’re after one of the country’s most successful consumer products companies — DuPont. As Doug Bandow explains in this column, teflon might be harmful, so the company should have to provide new cookware to replace it and of course cough up a few billion in damages to reward the lawyers for all the time they have put into this public spirited lawsuit.
This ought to be good for some new lawyer jokes, at least.
