January 30, 2015
A recent decision on standing by the Northern District of California in Machlan v. Procter & Gamble, 14-01982, creates more problems than it solves. The plaintiff, Machlan, alleges the defendants falsely marketed certain personal care wipes as flushable. He further alleges he would not have purchased the wipes if he had known they were not flushable.
