Investment question-legal
The many lawsuits. One of the many ambulance chasers claims they are suing Monsanto for glycophosate (Round up) From what I know, or think I know, monsanto, an American company (MON) has been sold to Bayer a German company. MON is no longer traded.
How can they sue something that does not exist? For that matter glycophosate I assume like 24D is produced by many companies. Similar question re: Johnsons baby powder. The women claiming it caused cervical cancer were not using the product as suggested. For that matter, what proof do they have they purchased only the Johnson product. Baby powder is crushed soap stone. Hum can they prove they never bought Walmart unbranded, CVS etc. |

In a lawsuit, the lawyers don't have to "prove" anything. All they need to do is to convince a jury to award big bucks to their client, or settle out of court. It happens all the time.

When the companies were merged all the assets and LIABILITIES of both companies are included in the new company. That is what was done. The new company is liable for any problems of the old company.
It is also possible for a company to buy some or all of the assets of a company and to assume some of the known liabilities. This probably leaves the problems you mention with the original company but I am not sure. |

Thanks

The baby powder case should simply have been disallowed unless you can prove you used the product as expected-they did not-and you can prove you only used Johnson's-they can not. |

Speaking of big corporate lawsuits....
I'm sure there are still a lot of people who believe the infamous McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit...was/is the epitome of juries out of control. If folks did some simple research however, they would find out things...that I bet they never knew. I was one of those until one day while walking down the fairway at Arroyo del Oso, I mentioned it to my good friend and to my surprise (since he was the retired Deputy Chief of the State Police for NM)...he gave me the real facts. I'm sure they're are some that don't even care though, because they go by emotions and will believe the false news put out at the time...and facts don't really matter to them.
