Wrigley Settles False-Ad Class Action For $6M
June 6, 2010
Gum company Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. has agreed to pay $6 million to settle a class action that alleged the firm misled consumers by claiming its Eclipse brand gum and mints were scientifically proven to kill germs that cause bad breath.
The settlement agreement was filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Class members are eligible to receive up to $10 each, and Wrigley agreed to pony up another $1 million should the claims exceed the original $6 million.

New sex abuse suit filed against Los Angeles Archdiocese
A 27-year-old man filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Archdiocese this week charging that the church failed to protect him from sexual abuse by former priest Michael Baker, who has since pleaded guilty to criminal charges of molesting children.
The man, identified as “John MG Doe” in the suit, alleged that Baker abused him for two or three years beginning when he was 12, while he was a student and altar boy at St. Columbkille parish in South Los Angeles. The church was aware of Baker’s “dangerous propensities and tendencies as a child molester” but allowed the priest to have continued contact with children, the lawsuit alleges. The suit only identifies the alleged abuser as “Doe 4.” Attorney Vince Finaldi said court filings at a later date would identify “Doe 4″ as Baker.

Police, fire unions sue Baltimore over pensions
Baltimore’s police and fire unions filed a federal lawsuit against the city Thursday afternoon, alleging officials “knowingly underfunded” their pension plan over the past decade, ignoring the advice of financial experts hired by the city, Baltimore Sun colleague Julie Scharper reports.
The lawsuit marks the beginning of what could be a lengthy and expensive legal battle in the emotionally charged debate on altering retirement benefits paid to public safety officers. If drastic changes are not made to the pension system by July 1, the city will be on the hook for $66 million that it cannot pay.

Carradine’s wife sues film company
LOS ANGELES, June 4 (UPI) — David Carradine’s widow has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the production company that was making a film with her husband when he died in Bangkok.
Carradine’s death last June at the age of 72 was ruled asphyxiation by hanging that was not a suicide. The “Kung Fu” and “Kill Bill” actor was found hanging naked in a hotel closet with a rope tied around his neck and genitals.
