Acrylamide Litigation Moving Forward
Monday, April 24, 2006
On March 29, 2006, The Los Angeles Daily Journal reported that Superior Court Judge Wendell Mortimer, Jr., lifted the stay in place since 2003 in the case seeking to require warnings to consumers that french fries contain acrylamide, a cancer causing chemical. The Metzger Law Group representing the Council for Education and Research on Toxics (CERT) filed the first case in 2002 and will be litigating the case jointly with the Attorney General's office. The article also explained that the food industry backed bill (HR 4167) passed the House, but is facing difficulties in the Senate. The bill was intended largely to nullify the acrylamide litigation, but for now this litigation is moving forward.
