Natonya Stoute, on behalf of herself and others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, vs. Adventist Health System/West, Adventist
Health, Cerner Corporation, Cerner Health Connections, Inc.,
Cerner Health Services, Inc., Cerner Healthcare Solutions, Inc.,
and DOES 1 to 100, Inclusive, Defendants, Case No. BC 596285 (Cal.
Super. Ct., Los Angeles Div., September 29, 2015), seeks to

periods they had already worked in excess of 8 hours in a day, 40
hours in a week, or were working on a seventh consecutive day of
work and Defendants did not pay wages for that time."

     Vacation Class: "All former non-exempt employees employed by
Defendants in California who did not receive all accrued vacation
pay and who were involved in a termination or resignation at any
time within the four years prior to the filing of the initial
complaint in this action and through the date notice is mailed to
a certified class."

     Wage Statement Class: "All current and former non-exempt

this action and through the date notice is mailed to a certified

     Waiting Time Class: "All former non-exempt employees employed
by Defendants in California at any time within the four years
prior to the filing of the initial complaint in this action and
through the date notice is mailed to a certified class whose

ALLERGAN PLC: Bid to Dismiss Testosterone RT Action Still Open
--------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the
Defendants' motion to dismiss the Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Class Action remains pending.

On November 24, 2014, the Company was served with a putative class
action complaint filed on behalf a class of third party payers in
federal court in Illinois. The suit alleges that the Company and
other named pharmaceutical defendants violated various laws
including the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act and state consumer protection laws in connection
with the sale and marketing of certain testosterone replacement
therapy pharmaceutical products ("TRT Products"), including the
Company's Androderm(R) product. This matter was filed in the TRT
Products Liability MDL, notwithstanding that it is not a product
liability matter. Plaintiff alleges that it reimbursed third
parties for dispensing TRT Products to beneficiaries of its
insurance policies. Plaintiff seeks to obtain certain equitable
relief, including injunctive relief and an order requiring
restitution and/or disgorgement, and to recover damages and
multiple damages in an unspecified amount. Defendants filed a
joint motion to dismiss the complaint, after which plaintiff
amended its complaint.

Defendants jointly filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint
and the motion remains pending. The Company believes it has
substantial meritorious defenses to the claims alleged and intends
to vigorously defend the action. However, an adverse determination
in the case could have an adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.


ALLERGAN PLC: TNS Products Litigation Currently Stayed
------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the
TNS Products Litigation is currently stayed pending the decision
of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in another matter involving
similar legal issues.

On March 19, 2014, a complaint was filed in the federal district
court in California. The complaint alleges violations of the
California Unfair Competition Law, the Consumers Legal Remedies
Act, and the False Advertising Law, and deceit. On June 2, 2014,
Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. On June 23, 2014,
Allergan filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint. On
September 5, 2014, the court granted-in-part and denied-in-part
Allergan's motion to dismiss. On September 8, 2014, the court set
trial for September 1, 2015. On November 4, 2014, Allergan and
SkinMedica filed a motion to dismiss.

On January 7, 2015, Allergan and SkinMedica's motion to dismiss
was denied.  The case is currently stayed pending the decision of
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in another matter involving
similar legal issues.

The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses and
intends to defend itself vigorously. However, these actions, if
successful, could adversely affect the Company and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.


ALLERGAN PLC: Parties Working on Discovery in Employee Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that an
employee litigation is still in its early stages and the parties
are beginning to work on discovery matters.

In July 2012, Forest and certain of its affiliates were named as
defendants in an action brought by certain former company sales
representatives and specialty sales representatives in the federal
district court in New York. The action is a putative class and
collective action, and alleges class claims under Title VII for
gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions, as well
as discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, and a collective
action claim under the Equal Pay Act. The proposed Title VII
gender class includes all current and former female sales
representatives employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from
2008 to the date of judgment, and the proposed Title VII pregnancy
sub-class includes all current and former female sales
representatives who have been, are, or will become pregnant while
employed by the Company throughout the U.S. from 2008 to the date
of judgment. The proposed Equal Pay Act collective action class
includes current, former, and future female sales representatives
who were not compensated equally to similarly-situated male
employees during the applicable liability period. The Second
Amended Complaint also includes non-class claims on behalf of
certain of the named Plaintiffs for sexual harassment and
retaliation under Title VII, and for violations of the Family and
Medical Leave Act.

On August 14, 2014, the court issued a decision on the Company's
motion to dismiss, granting it in part and denying it in part,
striking the plaintiffs' proposed class definition and instead
limiting the proposed class to a smaller set of potential class
members and dismissing certain of the individual plaintiffs'
claims.

Plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional certification of an
Equal Pay Act collective action on May 22, 2015 which the Company
has opposed. The litigation is still in its early stages and the
parties are beginning to work on discovery matters.

The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this
action. At this time, the Company does not believe losses, if any,
would have a material effect on the results of operations or
financial position taken as a whole.


ALLERGAN PLC: Warner Chilcott Defending 200 Actonel(R) Cases
------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that Warner
Chilcott is a defendant in approximately 200 cases and a potential
defendant with respect to approximately 415 unfiled claims
involving a total of approximately 627 plaintiffs and potential
plaintiffs relating to Warner Chilcott's bisphosphonate
prescription drug Actonel(R). The claimants allege, among other
things, that Actonel(R) caused them to suffer osteonecrosis of the
jaw ("ONJ"), a rare but serious condition that involves severe
loss or destruction of the jawbone, and/or atypical fractures of
the femur ("AFF"). All of the cases have been filed in either
federal or state courts in the United States.  Warner Chilcott is
in the initial stages of discovery in these litigations.



ALLERGAN PLC: 4 Actonel Product Liability Suits Pending in Canada
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that Warner
Chilcott is aware of four purported product liability class
actions that were brought against Warner Chilcott in provincial
courts in Canada alleging, among other things, that Actonel(R)
caused the plaintiffs and the proposed class members who ingested
Actonel(R) to suffer atypical fractures or other side effects. It
is expected that these plaintiffs will seek class certification.
Plaintiffs have typically asked for unspecified monetary and
injunctive relief, as well as attorneys' fees.

Warner Chilcott is indemnified by Sanofi for certain Actonel
claims pursuant to a collaboration agreement relating to the two
parties' co-promotion of the product in the United States and
other countries.

In addition, Warner Chilcott is also partially indemnified by the
Proctor & Gamble Company ("P&G") for ONJ claims that were pending
at the time Warner Chilcott acquired P&G's global pharmaceutical
business in October 2009.

In May and September 2013, Warner Chilcott entered into two
settlement agreements which will resolve a majority of the then-
existing ONJ-related claims which are subject to the acceptance by
the individual respective claimants.

The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to
these cases and intends to defend these claims vigorously. Warner
Chilcott maintains product liability insurance against such cases.
However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company cannot
predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if
successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage
against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


ALLERGAN PLC: Continues to Defend Against Alendronate Litigation
----------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the
Company continues to defend against the Alendronate Litigation.

Starting in 2010, approximately 130 product liability suits on
behalf of approximately 175 plaintiffs have been filed against the
Company and certain of its affiliates, including Cobalt
Laboratories, as well as other manufacturers and distributors of
alendronate for personal injuries including AFF and ONJ allegedly
arising out of the use of alendronate. The actions are pending in
various state and federal courts. Several of the cases were
consolidated in an MDL proceeding in federal court in New Jersey.
In 2012, the MDL court granted the Company's motion to dismiss all
of the cases then pending against the Company in the New Jersey
MDL. The Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal.

Any new cases against the Company filed in the MDL are subject to
dismissal unless plaintiffs can establish that their claims should
be exempted from the 2012 dismissal order. Other cases were
consolidated in an MDL in federal court in New York, where the
Company filed a similar motion to dismiss. The Court granted, in
part, the motion to dismiss which has resulted in the dismissal of
several other cases. The Company has also been served with nine
cases that are part of a consolidated litigation in the California
state court.

In 2012, the California court partially granted a motion filed on
behalf of all generic defendants seeking dismissal. Appeals in the
California cases have been exhausted and the Company has not yet
been able to determine how that will affect the cases filed
against it. All cases pending in state courts in Kentucky and
Missouri have been discontinued against the Company. The remaining
active cases are part of a mass tort coordinated proceeding in New
Jersey state court.

In the New Jersey proceeding, the Court granted, in part, a motion
to dismiss.

The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses
to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against
such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the
Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These
actions, if successful, or if our indemnification arrangements or
insurance do not provide sufficient coverage against such claims,
could adversely affect the Company and could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.


ALLERGAN PLC: Faces 225 Actions Related to Benicar(R) Litigation
----------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the
Company is named in approximately 225 actions involving
allegations that Benicar(R), a treatment for hypertension that
Forest co-promoted with Daiichi Sankyo between 2002 and 2008,
caused certain gastrointestinal injuries. Under Forest's Co-
Promotion Agreement, Daiichi Sankyo is defending the Company in
these lawsuits.


ALLERGAN PLC: Nov. 30 Trial Scheduled in Celexa/Lexapro Case
------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that one
trial is scheduled for November 30, 2015 in the
Celexa(R)/Lexapro(R) Litigation.

Forest and its affiliates are defendants in approximately nine
actions pending in various federal district courts involving
allegations that Celexa(R) or Lexapro(R) caused or contributed to
individuals committing or attempting suicide, or caused a violent
event. The Company was granted summary judgment in three cases,
all of which are being appealed. Two other matters have been
stayed pending a decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
At present, one trial is scheduled for November 30, 2015.  The
only other two trials currently scheduled are set to begin on
January 5, 2016 and March 21, 2016 with the possibility that
additional cases could be set for trial in 2016.


ALLERGAN PLC: 195 Actions Pending Involving Celexa or Lexapro
-------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that
approximately 195 actions are pending against Forest and its
affiliates involving allegations that Celexa(R) or Lexapro(R)
caused various birth defects. Several of the cases involve
multiple minor-plaintiffs. The majority of these actions have been
consolidated in state court in Missouri where one case is set for
trial in May 2016. In addition, one matter is pending in federal
district court in Missouri and set for trial in August 2016. Five
actions remain in New Jersey state court, none of which are set
for trial.  There are birth defect cases pending in other
jurisdictions but none currently are set for trial.


ALLERGAN PLC: 1,500 Cases Remain Pending Over Metoclopramide
------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that
approximately 1,500 cases remain pending related to
Metoclopramide.

Starting in 2009, a number of product liability suits were filed
against certain Company affiliates, including legacy Actavis and
Watson companies, as well as other manufacturers and distributors
of metoclopramide, for personal injuries allegedly arising out of
the use of metoclopramide. Approximately 1,500 cases remain
pending against Actavis, Watson and/or its affiliates in state and
federal courts, representing claims by multiple plaintiffs.
Discovery in these cases is in the preliminary stages as the
Company is actively moving to dismiss the suits and either
initiating or defending appeals on such motions.

The Company believes that, with respect to the majority of the
cases against the legacy Watson companies, it will be defended in
and indemnified by Pliva, Inc., an affiliate of Teva, from whom
the Company purchased its metoclopramide product line in late
2008. With respect to the cases pending against the legacy Actavis
companies, the Company is actively defending them. The Company
believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to these
cases and maintains product liability insurance against such
cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company
cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if
successful, or if our indemnification arrangements or insurance do
not provide sufficient coverage against such claims, could
adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.


ALLERGAN PLC: Propoxyphene Product Liability Suits Still Pending
----------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the
Company is still defending against Propoxyphene product liability
litigation.

Starting in 2011, a number of product liability suits were filed
against Watson and certain of its affiliates, as well as other
manufacturers and distributors of propoxyphene, for personal
injuries including adverse cardiovascular events or deaths
allegedly arising out of the use of propoxyphene. Cases are
pending against Watson and/or its affiliates in various state and
federal courts, representing claims by approximately 1,400
plaintiffs. A number of the cases were consolidated in an MDL in
federal district court in Kentucky.

On June 22, 2012, the MDL court granted the generic defendants'
joint motion to dismiss the remaining MDL cases. On June 27, 2014,
the Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal.
Plaintiffs did not file a petition for a writ of certiorari with
the United States Supreme Court.

In addition, approximately 35 cases were filed in California state
court. These cases were removed to federal district courts and,
after disputes over whether the cases should be remanded to state
court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the
removals to federal court were proper. Many of the cases in
California federal courts were transferred to the MDL in Kentucky.
Once the remaining procedural matters are resolved, the defendants
will file demurrers and motions to dismiss the remaining suits. In
addition, approximately eight lawsuits have been filed in Oklahoma
which plaintiffs are seeking to have remanded from federal to
state court.

The Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses
to these cases and maintains product liability insurance against
such cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the
Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These
actions, if successful, or if insurance does not provide
sufficient coverage against such claims, could adversely affect
the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.


ALLERGAN PLC: Discovery in Early Stages in Testosterone Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited said in their Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
6, 2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that
discovery is in the early stages in the Testosterone product
liability litigation.

Starting in 2014, a number of product liability suits were filed
against the Company and certain of its affiliates, as well as
other manufacturers and distributors of testosterone products, for
personal injuries including but not limited to cardiovascular
events allegedly arising out of the use of Androderm(R)
testosterone cypionate, AndroGel and/or testosterone enanthate.
Actavis, Inc. and/or one or more of its subsidiaries have been
served in approximately 135 currently pending actions, all of
which are pending in federal court. These actions have been
consolidated in an MDL in federal court in Illinois.

The defendants have responded to the plaintiffs' master complaint.
Plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss all claims relating to any of
Actavis' generic TRT products from the cases.  These cases are in
the initial stages and discovery is in the early stages.

The Company anticipates that additional suits will be filed. The
Company believes that it has substantial meritorious defenses to
these cases and maintains product liability insurance against such
cases. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company
cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. These actions, if
successful, or if insurance does not provide sufficient coverage
against such claims, could adversely affect the Company and could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

CENTURYLINK INC: "Fulghum" Defendants Win Judgment
--------------------------------------------------
Centurylink, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the district court in
the case, William Douglas Fulghum, et al. v. Embarq Corporation,
et al., granted judgment in favor of defendants on all remaining
and unadjudicated vested benefits claims.

In William Douglas Fulghum, et al. v. Embarq Corporation, et al.,
filed on December 28, 2007 in the United States District Court for
the District of Kansas, a group of retirees filed a class action
lawsuit challenging the decision to make certain modifications in
retiree benefits programs relating to life insurance, medical
insurance and prescription drug benefits, generally effective
January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2008 (which, at the time of the
modifications, was expected to reduce estimated future expenses
for the subject benefits by more than $300 million). Defendants
include Embarq, certain of its benefit plans, its Employee
Benefits Committee and the individual plan administrator of
certain of its benefits plans. Additional defendants include
Sprint Nextel and certain of its benefit plans. The Court
certified a class on certain of plaintiffs' claims, but rejected
class certification as to other claims.

On October 14, 2011, the Fulghum lawyers filed a new, related
lawsuit, Abbott et al. v. Sprint Nextel et al. In Abbott,
approximately 1,500 plaintiffs allege breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with the changes in retiree benefits that also are at
issue in the Fulghum case. The Abbott plaintiffs are all members
of the class that was certified in Fulghum on claims for allegedly
vested benefits (Counts I and III), and the Abbott claims are
similar to the Fulghum breach of fiduciary duty claim (Count II),
on which the Fulghum court denied class certification. The Court
has stayed proceedings in Abbott indefinitely, except for limited
discovery and motion practice as to approximately 80 of the
plaintiffs.

On February 14, 2013, the Fulghum court dismissed the majority of
the plaintiffs' claims in the case. On interlocutory appeal, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled on
February 24, 2015, that the plan documents reviewed do not support
any claim for vested benefits, and affirmed the district court's
dismissal of claims based on those documents. The Tenth Circuit
decision allowed a subset of claims for vested benefits to return
to the district court for further proceedings. The Tenth Circuit
also affirmed the district court's dismissal of all age
discrimination claims. The Tenth Circuit reversed the district
court's determination that ERISA's statute of repose is a time bar
to the breach of fiduciary duty claims of fifteen named
plaintiffs.

Plaintiffs petitioned for further Tenth Circuit review on their
claims for vested benefits.

"We petitioned for further Tenth Circuit review regarding the
ERISA statute of repose," the Company said.

On April 27, 2015, a revised Tenth Circuit panel opinion was
issued with no material change in the outcome. On June 10, 2015,
the district court in Fulghum granted summary judgment to
defendants on an additional group of claims for vested benefits.
On July 27, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a stipulation by the
parties, the district court in Fulghum granted judgment in favor
of defendants on all remaining and unadjudicated vested benefits
claims. This judgment is without prejudice to any rights the
parties may have to pursue any additional appellate relief.

"As to any further proceedings that may occur in the district
court, defendants will continue to vigorously contest any
remaining claims in Fulghum and Abbott," the Company said. "We
have not accrued a liability for these matters because we believe
it is premature (i) to determine whether an accrual is warranted
and (ii) if so, to determine a reasonable estimate of probable
liability."


CENTURYLINK INC: Class Action Settlements Okayed in 32 States
-------------------------------------------------------------
Centurylink, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that parties in putative
class actions have received final approval of settlements in 32
states.

Several putative class actions relating to the installation of
fiber optic cable in certain rights-of-way were filed against
Qwest on behalf of landowners on various dates and in courts
located in 34 states in which Qwest has such cable (Alabama,
Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.)

"For the most part, the complaints challenge our right to install
our fiber optic cable in railroad rights-of-way. The complaints
allege that the railroads own the right-of-way as an easement that
did not include the right to permit us to install our cable in the
right-of-way without the plaintiffs' consent," the Company said.

In general, the complaints seek damages on theories of trespass
and unjust enrichment, as well as punitive damages. After previous
attempts to enter into a single nationwide settlement in a single
court proved unsuccessful, the parties proceeded to seek court
approval of settlements on a state-by-state basis.

To date, the parties have received final approval of such
settlements in 32 states. The settlement administration process,
including claim submission and evaluation, is continuing in
relation to a number of these settlements.

The parties have not yet received final approval in one state (New
Mexico). There is one state where an action was at one time, but
is not currently, pending (Arizona).

"We have accrued an amount that we believe is probable for
resolving these matters; however, the amount is not material to
our consolidated financial statements," the Company said.


CHARLES SCHWAB: Bond Market Fund Case Proceeding in Trial Court
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Charles Schwab Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the Total Bond
Market Fund Litigation is proceeding in trial court, with
plaintiff having filed a fourth amended complaint on June 25,
2015, and defendants filing a motion to dismiss on July 24, 2015.

On August 28, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf
of investors in the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund(TM). The lawsuit
which alleges violations of state law and federal securities law
in connection with the fund's investment policy, names Schwab
Investments (registrant and issuer of the fund's shares) and CSIM
as defendants. Allegations include that the fund improperly
deviated from its stated investment objectives by investing in
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and investing more than
25% of fund assets in CMOs and mortgage-backed securities without
obtaining a shareholder vote. Plaintiffs seek unspecified
compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and
injunctive relief, costs and attorneys' fees. Plaintiffs' federal
securities law claim and certain of plaintiffs' state law claims
were dismissed.

On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiffs' remaining
claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed to the Ninth Circuit,
which issued a ruling on March 9, 2015 reversing the district
court's dismissal of the case and remanding the case for further
proceedings. Defendants petitioned for Supreme Court review of the
Ninth Circuit decision on July 27, 2015. Concurrently, the case is
proceeding in trial court, with plaintiff having filed a fourth
amended complaint on June 25, 2015, and defendants filing a motion
to dismiss on July 24, 2015.


CHEMOURS COMPANY: 2nd Trial in Drinking Water Actions Next Month
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Chemours Company said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the second trial in the
so-called Drinking Water Actions is scheduled to begin in November
2015.

In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v. DuPont, was
filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living
near the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer,
deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA (collectively,
perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium
salt) in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004
that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the
plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses of $23 million and made a
payment of $70 million, which class counsel designated to fund a
community health project. Chemours, through DuPont, funded a
series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by
an independent science panel of experts (the C8 Science Panel).
The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to
evaluate available scientific evidence on whether any probable
link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between
exposure to PFOA and human disease. The C8 Science Panel found
probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between
exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-induced hypertension, including
preeclampsia, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease,
ulcerative colitis and diagnosed high cholesterol.

In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released
its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic testing
of eligible class members. In September 2014, the medical panel
recommended follow-up screening and diagnostic testing three years
after initial testing, based on individual results. The medical
panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion
of its protocol. Through DuPont, Chemours is obligated to fund up
to $235 million for a medical monitoring program for eligible
class members and, in addition, administrative cost associated
with the program, including class counsel fees.

In January 2012, Chemours, through DuPont, put $1 million in an
escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the
settlement agreement. The court-appointed Director of Medical
Monitoring has established the program to implement the medical
panel's recommendations and the registration process, as well as
eligibility screening, is ongoing. Diagnostic screening and
testing has begun and associated payments to service providers are
being disbursed from the escrow account. As of June 30, 2015, less
than $1 million had been disbursed from the escrow account related
to medical monitoring.

In addition, under the settlement agreement, DuPont must continue
to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in
water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking
Water Association (LHWA) and private well users.

Class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont
only for those human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel
determined a probable link exists. At June 30, 2015 and March 31,
2015, there were approximately 3,500 lawsuits filed in various
federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia. The number of
lawsuits pending at June 30, 2015 reflects the filing of about 50
additional cases and plaintiffs' voluntary dismissal of about 40
cases during the second quarter of 2015. In accordance with a
stipulation reached in the third quarter of 2014 and other court
procedures, these lawsuits have been or will be served and
consolidated in multi-district litigation in Ohio federal court
(MDL). Based on the information currently available to the
company, the majority of the lawsuits allege personal injury
claims associated with high cholesterol and thyroid disease from
exposure to PFOA in drinking water. There are 37 lawsuits alleging
wrongful death. In the third quarter of 2014, six plaintiffs from
the MDL were selected for individual trial. The first trial is
scheduled to begin in September 2015, and the second in November
2015. Chemours, through DuPont, denies the allegations in these
lawsuits and is defending itself vigorously. No claims have been
settled or resolved during the periods presented.

This recall involves various Chewbeads "Where's the Pacifier?"
clips. The pacifier clips consist of a clip with a butterfly,

CHUBB CORPORATION: Faces Class Actions Related to ACE Merger
------------------------------------------------------------
The Chubb Corporation on June 30, 2015, entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement), with ACE Limited (ACE), a
company organized under the laws of Switzerland, and William
Investment Holdings Corporation (Merger Sub), a New Jersey
corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ACE,
pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Chubb, with
Chubb surviving as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ACE (the
Merger). At the effective time of the Merger, each share (except
for certain shares held by ACE, Chubb or their subsidiaries) of
common stock of Chubb, par value $1.00 per share, will be
converted into the right to receive 0.6019 of a common share of
ACE, par value CHF 24.15 per share, and $62.93 in cash.

The Chubb Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that Chubb, the Board, ACE
and/or Merger Sub have been named as defendants in ten putative
class actions brought by purported Chubb shareholders challenging
the Merger in the New Jersey Superior Court, Somerset County,
Chancery Division. The suits are captioned The Sadie Nuay
Charitable Found. v. The Chubb Corp., et al., C-012040-15 (filed
July 10, 2015); Anne Cutler v. John D. Finnegan, et al., C-012041-
15 (filed July 10, 2015); Sidney Weiman v. The Chubb Corp., et
al., C-012043-15 (filed July 14, 2015); Renee Sayegh v. The Chubb
Corp., et al., C-012045-15 (filed July 10, 2015); Judy Mesirov v.
The Chubb Corp., et al., C-012046-15 (filed July 20, 2015); Shiva
Stein v. The Chubb Corp., et al., C-012047-15 (filed July 21,
2015); Vladimir Gusinsky Living Trust v. The Chubb Corp., et al.,
C-012048-15 (filed July 22, 2015); Jane Schwartzman v. Zoe Baird
Budinger, et al., C-012049-15 (filed July 20, 2015); Saunders v.
The Chubb Corp., et al., C-012050-15 (filed July 23, 2015); and
Polatsch v. The Chubb Corp., et al., C-012051-15 (filed July 23,
2015). The complaints allege, among other things, that the Board
breached its fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Chubb through an
unfair and inadequate process and by failing to maximize the value
of Chubb. Several of the complaints also allege that Chubb, ACE
and/or Merger Sub have aided and abetted these breaches of
fiduciary duties. Plaintiffs seek as relief, among other things,
an injunction against the Merger, rescission of the Merger to the
extent it is already implemented, and an award of damages. Chubb
believes the lawsuits are without merit.


COMMERCE BANCSHARES: To Defend Against Cassandra Warren Action
--------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce Bancshares, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that a customer filed on
August 15, 2014, a purported class action complaint against the
Bank in the Circuit Court, Jackson County, Missouri.  The case is
Cassandra Warren, et al v. Commerce Bank (Case No. 1416-CV19197).
In the case, the customer alleges violation of the Missouri usury
statute in connection with the Bank charging overdraft fees in
connection with point-of-sale/debit and automated-teller machine
cards. The case seeks class-action status for Missouri customers
of the Bank who may have been similarly affected.  The Company
believes the complaint lacks merit and will defend itself
vigorously. The amount of any ultimate exposure cannot be
determined with certainty at this time.


CUBIC CORP: Company, Transit Customer Face Class Suits
------------------------------------------------------
Cubic Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that the Company intends to
defend lawsuits against the Company and one of its transit
customers.

The Company said, "In October and December of 2013, and January of
2014, lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division against us and
one of our transit customers alleging variously, among other
things, breach of contract, violation of the Illinois Consumer
Fraud Act, unjust enrichment and violation of the Electronic Funds
Act."

"In January 2014, these cases were consolidated into a single case
and the plaintiffs are seeking to have the case certified as a
class action. Plaintiffs variously claim, among other things,
that: (i) they were wrongly charged for calling the call center
that we operate for patrons of our transit customer, (ii) they
were wrongly charged for a transfer and a second fare, (iii) they
were not credited the cost of a transit card even after
registration of the card, as is required under the terms of the
cardholder agreement, and (iv) they were double charged for rides
taken.

"We are undertaking the defense of the transit customer pursuant
to our contractual obligations to that customer. We are
investigating the matter and are vigorously defending this
lawsuit. As this case remains in its early stages, we cannot
estimate the probability of loss or any range of estimate of
possible loss."

---------------------------------------------------------------

have been reported.

FATIMA BROTHERS: Recalls Raisin Products Due to Sulfites
--------------------------------------------------------
Fatima Brothers Inc. is recalling its 7 oz. and 14 oz. packages of
SHAD RAISINS because they contained undeclared sulfites. Consumers
who have severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or
life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.

The recall SHAD RAISINS comes in an uncoded 7 oz. and 14 oz.
plastic bag and was sold in retail stores in New York and New
Jersey.

The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State
Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and
subsequent analysis of the product by Food Laboratory personnel
revealed the presence of sulfites in packages of SHAD RAISINS,
which did not declare the sulfites on the label. The consumption
of 10 milligrams of sulfites per serving has been reported to
elicit severe reactions in some asthmatics. Anaphylactic shock
could occur in certain sulfite-sensitive individuals upon
ingesting 10 milligrams or more sulfites. Analysis of SHAD RAISINS
revealed they contained 38.19 milligrams per serving.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this
problem. Consumers who have purchased the SHAD RAISINS should
return it the place of purchase.

Consumers with questions may contact Enamul Khan at (347) 639-

On certain vehicles that had rear axle reinforcement brackets
installed as part of safety recall 2010-284, the brackets may not
have been installed properly, which could limit the effectiveness
of the recall service repair in addressing the safety defect.
Safety recall 2010-284 was conducted to address the risk that the
combined effects of corrosion and stress can lead to a complete
fracture of the axle. If the rear axle fractures, and the
reinforcement brackets were not installed properly, vehicle
handling may be adversely affected, increasing the risk of a
crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear axle
reinforcement brackets that were installed as part of recall 2010-
284. If one or both brackets are found improperly installed, the
dealer will replace the rear axle.

GENERAL MILLS: Recalls Cheerios Cereal Due to Wheat
---------------------------------------------------
General Mills is voluntarily recalling several days of production
of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios cereal produced at its Lodi,
California facility on certain dates in July of this year because
of an undeclared allergen -- wheat -- with potential adverse
health effects.

Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios produced on these dates at the
company's Lodi, California facility are being recalled because an
isolated incident resulted in wheat flour being inadvertently
introduced into the gluten free oat flour system at its Lodi
facility. As a result, the products may contain an undeclared
allergen -- wheat -- in products labeled as gluten-free.

General Mills will recall and retrieve affected cereals produced
on those dates from customer warehouses and store shelves.
Consumers with wheat allergies, celiac disease or gluten
intolerance should not consume products bearing the affected code
dates and should contact General Mills for a replacement or full
refund.

This voluntary recall includes four days production of original
(yellow box) Cheerios, and thirteen days of production of Honey
Nut Cheerios at its Lodi, California facility with the following
"BETTER IF USED BY" code dates and the plant code LD which
indicates the product was produced at Lodi, California:

  Honey Nut Cheerios            Yellow Box Cheerios

  15JUL2016LD  21JUL2016LD      17JUL2016LD
  16JUL2016LD  22JUL2016LD

Products containing wheat can cause illness or severe reactions
for individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease. Products
containing wheat can also cause illness or discomfort for
individuals with gluten intolerance.
General Mills is transitioning five varieties of Cheerios to
gluten free. Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios cereals produced at
General Mills' other facilities, or on dates other than those
noted at the Lodi, California facility, are not impacted. General
Mills' other gluten-free Cheerios varieties -- including Apple
Cinnamon Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios and MultiGrain Cheerios -- are
not impacted and are not being recalled. No other General Mills
cereals are affected

Consumers requesting refunds or calling with further questions
should contact General Mills Consumer Services at 1-800-775-8370.

K-9 KRAVING: Recalls Chicken Patties Dog Food Due to Listeria
-------------------------------------------------------------
K-9 Kraving Dog Food has announced a voluntary recall of their
Chicken Patties Dog Food shipped between July 13th - July 17th,
2015 because these products may be contaminated with Salmonella
and Listeria monocytogenes. Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes
can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans
from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have
not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the
products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes
should monitor themselves for some or all of the following
symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal
cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes
can result in more serious ailments, including arterial
infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation,
and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after
having contact with this product should contact their healthcare
providers.

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea
or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only
decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but
otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or
humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has
these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

The affected product was distributed to retail stores only in
Maryland. No other K-9 Kraving Dog Food products are affected.

No illnesses have been reported to date. Even though no illnesses
have been reported, consumers should follow the Safe Handling
Instructions printed on the K-9 Kraving Dog Food package when
disposing of the affected product.

K-9 Kraving Dog Food became aware of a potential issue after
receiving notification from the FDA that a routine surveillance
sample of Chicken Patties tested positive for Salmonella and
Listeria monocytogenes.

Consumers feeding the affected product should discontinue use and
monitor their pet's health, and contact their veterinarian if they
have concerns. Consumers who purchased the product can obtain a
full refund or exchange by either returning the product in its
original packaging or bringing a proof of purchase back to their
retailer.

Consumers with additional questions can call our Consumer
Relations team at 1-800-675-1471 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, EST.

Robert Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of K-9 Kraving Dog Food,
stated, "At K-9 Kraving Dog Food we take quality and safety very
seriously. We believe that under all circumstances, health and
safety comes first, and we are committed to providing the best
possible nutrition for pets."

Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with defective fuel
tank shut-off-valves. Under certain conditions, this could cause

MOLSON COORS: "Hughes" Action at Early Stage of Proceedings
-----------------------------------------------------------
Molson Coors Brewing Company said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2015, for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that a notice of action
captioned David Hughes and 631992 Ontario Inc. v. Liquor Control
Board of Ontario, Brewers Retail Inc., Labatt Breweries of Canada
LP, Molson Coors Canada and Sleeman Breweries Ltd. No. CV-14-
518059-00CP was filed on December 12, 2014, in Ontario, Canada in
the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. BRI and its owners,
including Molson Coors Canada, as well as the LCBO are named as
defendants in the action. The plaintiffs allege that The Beer
Store (retail outlets owned and operated by BRI) and LCBO
improperly entered into an agreement to fix prices and market
allocation within the Ontario beer market to the detriment of
licensees and consumers. The plaintiffs seek to have the claim
certified as a class action on behalf of all Ontario beer
consumers and licensees and, among other things, damages in the
amount of CAD 1.4 billion.

"Although we are at an early stage of the proceedings, we note
that The Beer Store operates according to the rules established by
the Government of Ontario for regulation, sale and distribution of
beer in the province. Additionally, prices at The Beer Store are
independently set by each brewer and are approved by the LCBO on a
weekly basis. As such, we currently believe the claim has been
made without merit, and we intend to vigorously assert and defend
our rights in this lawsuit," the Company said.

Units affected: 11
Source of recall: Transport Canada

Manufacturer recall number: 15E-073

On certain vehicles, the Engine Control Module (ECM) may develop
an internal electrical short circuit that could blow a fuse in the
ECM's electrical supply circuit. This could cause the engine to
stall without warning and prevent the vehicle from being
restarted. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which,
in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's
reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property
damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace
the ECM and fuse.

Posting date: September 29, 2015
Type of communication: Consumer Product Recall
Subcategory: Chemicals

Issue: Chemical Hazard
Audience: General Public
Identification number: RA-55126

Orange TKO - Super Concentrated All Purpose Cleaner (236 mL, 473
mL, 1 L, 1.8 L, 3.8 L) does not meet the labelling and child-
resistant packaging requirements for consumer chemical products as
set out in the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001
issued under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.

This product contains a level of D-limonene that can pose a danger
to human health, especially to children, if aspiration occurs. D-
limonene is extracted from citrus fruit (such as orange peel), and
is commonly used as an ingredient in cleaners and other household
chemical products to provide a citrus smell. Aspiration occurs
when the product is coughed up or vomited after being ingested.
This coughing/vomiting causes small particles of the product to
travel into the lungs and may result in severe health effects
including pulmonary injury, chemical pneumonia or death.

Neither Health Canada nor Orange TKO Industries (Int'l) Inc. has
received consumer incident reports related to the use of this
product.

2997 of the affected products were sold in Canada from June 20,
2011 to present.

Manufactured in the United States of America.

chemical and contact their municipality for instructions on how to

PROVECTUS BIOPHARMACEUTICALS: Bid to Dismiss Class Action Pending
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6,
2015, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, that
Provectus' Motion to Dismiss a consolidated class action complaint
is pending.

On May 27, 2014, Cary Farrah and James H. Harrison, Jr.,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated (the
"Farrah Case"), and on May 29, 2014, each of Paul Jason Chaney,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated (the
"Chaney Case"), and Jayson Dauphinee, individually and on behalf
of all others similarly situated (the "Dauphinee Case") (the
plaintiffs in the Farrah Case, the Chaney Case and the Dauphinee
Case collectively referred to as the "Plaintiffs"), each filed a
class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Tennessee against the Company, H. Craig Dees,
Timothy C. Scott and Peter R. Culpepper (the "Defendants")
alleging violations by the Defendants of Sections 10(b) and 20(a)
of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Specifically, the Plaintiffs in each of the Farrah Case, the
Chaney Case and the Dauphinee Case allege that the Defendants are
liable for making false statements and failing to disclose adverse
facts known to them about the Company, in connection with the
Company's application to the FDA for Breakthrough Therapy
Designation ("BTD") of the Company's melanoma drug, PV-10, in the
Spring of 2014, and the FDA's subsequent denial of the Company's
application for BTD.

The Company intends to defend vigorously against all claims in
these complaints. However, in view of the inherent uncertainties
of litigation and the early stage of this litigation, the outcome
of these cases cannot be predicted at this time. Likewise, the
amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. No
amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial
statements as the outcome of these cases cannot be predicted and
the amount of any potential loss is not estimable at this time.

On July 9, 2014, the Plaintiffs and the Defendants filed joint
motions in the Farrah Case, the Chaney Case and the Dauphinee Case
to consolidate the cases and transfer them to United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. By order
dated July 16, 2014, the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Tennessee entered an order consolidating the
Farrah Case, the Chaney Case and the Dauphinee Case (collectively
and, as consolidated, the "Securities Litigation") and transferred
the Securities Litigation to the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Tennessee.

On November 26, 2014, the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee (the "Court") entered an order
appointing Fawwaz Hamati as the Lead Plaintiff in the Securities
Litigation, with the Law Firm of Glancy Binkow & Goldberg, LLP as
counsel to Lead Plaintiff. On February 3, 2015, the Court entered
an order compelling the Lead Plaintiff to file a consolidated
amended complaint within 60 days of entry of the order.

On April 6, 2015, the Lead Plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended
Class Action Complaint (the "Consolidated Complaint") in the Class
Action Case, alleging that Provectus and the other individual
defendants made knowingly false representations about the
likelihood that PV-10 would be approved as a candidate for BTD,
and that such representations caused injury to Lead Plaintiff and
other shareholders. The Consolidated Complaint also added Eric
Wachter as a named defendant.

On June 5, 2015, Provectus filed its Motion to Dismiss the
Consolidated Complaint (the "Motion to Dismiss"). On July 20,
2015, the Lead Plaintiff filed his response in opposition to the
Motion to Dismiss (the "Response"). Pursuant to order of the
Court, Provectus must reply to the Response no later than August
19, 2015.

The Company intends to defend vigorously against all claims in the
Consolidated Complaint. However, in view of the inherent
uncertainties of litigation and the early stage of this
litigation, the outcome of the Class Action Case cannot be
predicted at this time. Likewise, the amount of any potential loss
cannot be reasonably estimated. No amounts have been recorded in
the consolidated financial statements as the outcome of the Class
Action Case cannot be predicted and the amount of any potential
loss is not estimable at this time.

SNACK OUT: Recalls Sea Salt Crunchy Bean Snacks Due to Milk
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snack Out Loud Foods(TM) announced a recall of  56 cases of Sea
Salt Crunchy Bean Snacks labeled with the lot #63361, UPC
#760055900037, Expiration Date 7/9/2016. This recall has been
voluntarily initiated due to the possibility of Ranch product
being packaged in Sea Salt single-unit serving film, which does
not list milk as an allergen. Consumption of this product may
cause an allergic reaction to milk. This recall will affect the
entire lot identified.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the
risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they
consume these products.

The Crunchy Bean Snacks were distributed to Colorado and
California, and the company has reached out to consumers through
its distributors and retail stores. The Crunchy Bean Snacks being
recalled can be identified as Snack Out Loud Sea Salt Crunchy Bean
Snack, 1.2oz, Lot #63361, UPC #760055900037, Expiration Date
7/9/16. The product would come in a small, single-serving bag.

No confirmed illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product
containing milk was distributed in packaging that did not reveal
the presence of milk. Subsequent investigation indicates the
problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's
production and packaging processes.

"At Snack Out Loud we take the utmost care to make sure our
products are safe to eat and so we are voluntarily recalled the
1.2oz Sea Salt Crunchy Bean Snacks within this specific lot," said
Liz Myslik, chief bean at Snack Out Loud.

Consumers who have purchased Snack Out Loud Sea Salt Crunchy Bean
Snacks 1.2oz package with Lot# 63361, UPC #760055900037, and
Expiration Date of 7/9/16 are urged to return it to the place of
purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact

health risk:

The above products have the potential to be contaminated with
Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes
fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and
others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with
Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody),
nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances,
infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into
the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as
arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and
arthritis.
No illnesses have been reported in relation to this product to
date.

These products were distributed to Retail Locations in Texas,
North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. The products were
sold between 6/20/2015 and 9/9/2015. This notification is intended
to inform consumers that may still have any of the above listed
products in their possession.

The recall was as the result of a routine, random sampling program
conducted by a FDA contracted lab which revealed that the Nature's
Eats Natural Macadamia Nut product contained Salmonella.

The company has ceased the distribution of this specific lot of
macadamia nuts from the supplier.

Consumers who have purchased any of the above listed lot codes are
urged to not eat or discontinue consuming the potentially affected
product and contact the company at 1-844-571-5555 for refund or
product replacement information from 8:30am to 5:30pm Monday-
Friday, Central Standard Time.

UNITED TC: Recalls Raisins Products Due to Sulfites
---------------------------------------------------
United TC of Dayton, NJ is recalling Basma Golden Raisins, 16 oz.
and bulk cartons of Golden Raisins, 30 Lb. because they may
contain undeclared sulfites. People who have an allergy or severe

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the

VOLKSWAGEN: Recalls Jetta and Golf Models Due to Injury Risk

System: Airbag
Units affected: 356
Source of recall: Transport Canada
Identification number: 2015445TC
ID number: 2015445
Manufacturer recall number: 69L6

On certain vehicles, an electro-magnetic coil inside the Passenger
Occupant Detection System (PODS) control module was manufactured
with improper insulation between the coil layer. This could result
in the failure of the PODS control module, or misclassification of
the front passenger seat occupant, which could prevent proper
passenger airbag deployment during a crash where deployment is
warranted, potentially increasing the risk of injury to the front
passenger seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the PODS
control module. Note: Should this occur, vehicle occupants would
be alerted of a problem by the airbag monitoring light
illuminating or by a false indication of the Passenger Airbag OFF
indicator.

DOES 1-20, Defendant, Case No. RG15787348 (Cal. Super. Ct.,
Alameda Div., September 24, 2015), September 25, 2015), seeks to
recover monetary damages under the California Consumers Legal
Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law, and the False Advertising
Law.

According to the Complaint, by manufacturing and selling cars with
defeat devices that allowed for higher levels of emissions than
were certified to EPA, Volkswagen violated the Clean Air Act,
defrauded its customers, breached its contracts, violated
warranties, and engaged in unfair and deceptive practices under
state and federal laws.

Volkswagen, one of the world's largest car manufacturers, owns and
controls the brand names Volkswagen, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Audi,
Lamborghini, Skoda and Seat. Volkswagen AG delivers its products
into the stream of commerce with the expectation that they will be
purchased by consumers in every state in the United States. From
January through June, 2015, Volkswagen AG delivered 294,992
passenger vehicles to the United States.

Excluded from the Class are individuals who have personal injury
claims resulting from the "defeat device" in the Clean Diesel
system. Also excluded from the Class are Volkswagen and its
subsidiaries and affiliates; all persons who make a timely
election to be excluded from the Class; governmental entities; and
the judge to whom this case is assigned and his/her immediate
family.

Plaintiff reserves the right to revise the Class definition based
upon information learned through discovery.

Defendant Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is a corporation doing
business in all 50 states and is organized under the laws of the
State of New Jersey, with its principal place of business located
at 2200 Ferdinand Porsche Drive, Herndon, Virginia 20171.
Volkswagen manufactured, distributed, sold, leased, and warranted
the affected vehicles under the Volkswagen and Audi brand names
throughout the United States.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Honeywell Loses Summary Judgment Bid in "Bell"
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, SHARON BELL, Executor of the Estate of Mr. Richard W.
Bell, Deceased, Plaintiff, v. THE ABB GROUP, INC., et al.,
Defendants, CASE NO. 13-CV-1338-SMY-SCW (S.D. Ill.), Judge Staci
M. Yandle of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Illinois denied defendant Honeywell International,
Inc., as successor of Bendix Corporation's Motion for Summary
Judgment.

The Court finds that there are sufficient facts in the affidavits
and expert reports to establish that decedent Richard Bell was
exposed to asbestos from Honeywell's products with the frequency,
regularity, and proximity required by Illinois law.  Honeywell has
not affirmatively shown that the materials cited by Plaintiff fail
to create genuine issues of material facts as required by Rule
56(c)(1).  Based on the evidence viewed in the light most
favorable to the Plaintiff, a fair-minded jury could return a
verdict for the Plaintiff.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Summary Judgment in "Melendrez" Affirmed
---------------------------------------------------------
For approximately 24 years, Lario Melendrez worked for Ameron
International Corporation, where he was exposed to asbestos in the
manufacture of Ameron's Bondstrand pipe products.  In 2011, he
died of asbestos-related mesothelioma.  His survivors, Mary
Melendrez, individually and as personal representative of
Melendrez's estate, Mario Melendrez, Phillip Melendrez, David
Melendrez, and Veronica Pueyo, filed a complaint for wrongful
death against Ameron, alleging that in addition to his workplace
exposure to asbestos, Melendrez was also permitted to take waste
or scrap pipe home, where he was exposed to asbestos in using the
pipe for home projects.  Ameron moved for summary judgment on the
ground that the plaintiff's sole and exclusive remedy against
Ameron lies in the California Workers' Compensation Act.  The
trial court agreed, and granted summary judgment.

In consolidated appeals, the plaintiffs first challenge the grant
of summary judgment, asserting that workers' compensation does not
cover Melendrez's injury to the extent his exposure to asbestos
was from working with Bondstrand pipe on his own time at home.
Second, the plaintiffs challenge the trial court's award of expert

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Summary Judgment Bid in "Hindle" Denied
--------------------------------------------------------
Judge Gerald Austin McHugh of the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in a memorandum order dated
Sept. 17, 2015, denied defendants American Premier Underwriters,
Inc., and Consolidated Rail Corporation's motion for summary
judgment as to plaintiff Roger Lee Hindle and granted the motion
for summary judgment as to plaintiff Mary Lou Hindle.

Judge McHugh held that although the release in question in the
case mentions cancer as one of the risks from exposure to
asbestos, it also purports to release the Railroad Defendants from
liability for "any injuries, known or unknown, foreseen or
unforeseen" as a result of exposure to "any condition, material,
substance, product and/or good(s) of any kind or nature."  This,
according to Judge McHugh, seems to be the kind of "boiler plate"
language reciting "a series of generic hazards" about which the
Wicker court was suspicious.  The parties signed the release in
connection with a settlement of Mr. Hindle's claim for a modest
amount of money, Judge McHugh noted.  Since the Plaintiffs dispute
Mr. Hindle's understanding of the scope of the claims waived in
the Release Agreement, and the Court must view the facts in the
light most favorable to the non-moving party, Judge McHugh found
that there is a genuine dispute as to a material fact.  Summary
judgment is therefore inappropriate, Judge McHugh ruled.

With respect to the Mrs. Mary Lou Hindle's loss of consortium
claim, Judge McHugh ruled that the overwhelming weight of
authority is that there is no recovery for a derivative loss of
consortium claim in an FELA action.  Because the Plaintiffs do not
dispute this, and the Defendants are entitled to judgment as a
matter of law on this issue, Judge McHugh granted summary judgment
as to Mrs. Hindle's claim.

The case is ROGER LEE HINDLE and MARY LOU HINDLE, Plaintiffs, v.
CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION, et al., Defendants, CIVIL ACTION
NO. 13-6297 (E.D. Pa.).  A full-text copy of Judge McHugh's

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Mo. Court Flips Summary Ruling in "Bergstrom"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert G. Dowd, Jr., of the Court of Appeals of Missouri,
Eastern District, Division One, in an opinion dated Sept. 22,
2015, reversed a trial court's grant of Welco Manufacturing
Company's motion for summary judgment in the asbestos-related
personal injury lawsuit filed by David and Kaye Bergstrom.

Judge Dowd pointed out that there are 17 years of Bergstrom's
career in which he could have been working with asbestos-
containing Welcote joint compound.  Even if Welco's evidence that
it removed asbestos from its products, it still leaves at least 14
years of Bergstrom's career when he alleges he worked with Welcote
joint compound that would have contained asbestos according to the
record before the court.

Accordingly, Judge Dowd ruled that the trial court erred in
granting Welco's motion for summary judgment because Welco failed
to establish there was no genuine issue as to any material fact.
Once the disputed facts are determined by a trier of fact, there
could be sufficient evidence to support a finding that Bergstrom
worked with or around asbestos-containing joint compound supplied
by Welco between the years of 1962 and 1976, Judge Dowd held.

The case is DAVID BERGSTROM and KAYE BERGSTROM, Appellants, v.
WELCO MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Respondent, NO. ED102125 (Mo. App.).

ASBESTOS UPDATE: $800K Verdict Against Sid Harvey Affirmed
----------------------------------------------------------
Sid Harvey Industries, Inc., appeals from the trial court's
judgment following a jury trial finding it liable for negligent
failure to warn Lawrence Foreman of asbestos-related dangers
contained in products the company delivered, which were a
substantial factor in Mr. Foreman developing mesothelioma.  The
trial court issued a judgment of $800,000 against Sid Harvey.

In a decision dated Sept. 22, 2015, Judge Roy L. Richter of the
Court of Appeals of Missouri, Eastern District, Division Four,
affirmed, holding that even if its finds the verdict inconsistent,
the Appellant had every opportunity to object to the verdicts
before the jury was discharged and failed to do so.  Thus, the
Court considered the claim waived.

The case is LAWRENCE FOREMAN, ET AL., Respondent, v. AO SMITH
CORP., ET AL., Appellant, NO. ED101525 (Mo. App.).  A full-text

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Court Allows Vuskovich Testimony in "Kochera"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Staci M. Yandle of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Illinois, in a memorandum and order dated
Sept. 21, 2015, denied Defendant General Electric Company's Motion
in Limine to exclude the testimony of Matthew A. Vuskovich, M.D.,
M.S.P.H., in the asbestos-related case captioned ANDREW V.
KOCHERA, Plaintiff, v. GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, et al.,
Defendants, CASE NO. 14-0029-SMY-SCW (S.D. Ill.).

Judge Yandle ruled that Dr. Vuskovich does state that asbestosis
is a cumulative disease, which "means that every exposure to
asbestos that is non-trivial in context contributes to the
interstitial scarring in the lungs, which is the disease of
asbestosis."  Judge Yandle notes that Dr. Vuskovich also states,
"it is not possible to say, within a reasonable degree of medical
certainty, what the threshold exposure requirement is for
asbestosis."  His opinion, however, takes into account Mr.
Kochera's occupational and military history and his ultimate
conclusion is that the Plaintiff's exposures were not trivial,
Judge Yandle pointed out.  The Court finds nothing scientifically
invalid about Dr. Vuskovich's theory under Daubert, nor any
unjustifiable extrapolation as cautioned against by the Rule 702
advisory committee.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Bid to Limit Ohar Testimony in "Relyea" Denied
---------------------------------------------------------------
Deste C. Relyea, as executor of the estate of Jo Ann Relyea, filed
a wrongful death action contending that prolonged exposure to
brake dust from asbestos-containing brake pads caused Jo Ann
Reylea, who was employed as a part-time bookkeeper at a gas
station and auto repair shop from 1984 to 1990, to develop
mesothelioma.

Defendant Honeywell International Inc. now moves in limine to
preclude testimony from the plaintiff's expert Dr. Jill Ohar with
respect to two related issues.  They seek to preclude under
Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharms.,
Inc., 509 U.S. 573 (1993), any testimony that brake dust causes
mesothelioma and any expert opinion based on the theory that
"every exposure counts."  In addition, the defendant seeks to
preclude any testimony that asbestos or chrysotile cause
mesothelioma absent a showing that such evidence applies to brake
dust specifically.

To the extent the motions seek to preclude Ohar's testimony as it
is reflected in her expert reports, they are denied.  To the
extent it derives from certain facts and methodology, therefore,
Ohar's testimony is not barred by Rule 702.  To the extent Ohar
attempts to testify in a manner different from the above and in
reliance on the theory that "every exposure counts," defendants
may renew their challenge to such testimony as that time.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Ill. High Court Flips Ruling for Abatement Co.
---------------------------------------------------------------
In 2008, the Illinois Department of Public Health issued an
emergency stop work order to Lake Environmental, Inc., based on
alleged violations of the Department's regulations committed
during an asbestos cleanup job at Scott Air Force Base.  The
Department also removed Lake Environmental's name from the list of
state-approved asbestos abatement contractors.  Several months
later, the Department dismissed the stop work order proceedings
voluntarily, after finding that the violations had been remedied.

In 2010, the Department notified Lake Environmental that it
intended to revoke its asbestos abatement contractor license based
on the alleged violations that occurred at the Scott Air Force
Base job. The director of the Department, upon the recommendation
of the administrative law judge, granted summary judgment for the
Department and revoked Lake Environmental's license.

In the meantime, the Department filed a civil lawsuit against Lake
Environmental seeking monetary penalties for the 2008 violations.
The circuit court found that the Department should have sought
those penalties during the 2008 administrative proceedings and
granted summary judgment for Lake Environmental based on the
doctrine of res judicata.

Lake Environmental then filed a petition for administrative review
challenging the Department's decision to revoke its license.  Lake
Environmental argued that the attempt to revoke its license was
barred by res judicata because the Department had voluntarily
dismissed the emergency stop work order action.  Alternatively,
Lake Environmental argued that the Department lacked authority to
seek revocation based on alleged violations of federal
regulations.  The circuit court granted summary judgment for Lake
Environmental after concluding that the Department was barred
under the doctrine of res judicata from revoking Lake
Environmental's license based on the 2008 conduct at issue in the
original emergency stop work order proceeding.

Lake Environmental then moved for sanctions based on its argument
that the Department should have known that its claim would be
barred by res judicata and thus that its continued defense against
Lake Environmental's petition for administrative review violated
Illinois Supreme Court Rule 137.

In an opinion filed Sept. 24, 2015, the Supreme Court of Illinois
held, "The plain language of Illinois Supreme Court Rule 137
imposes no requirement on a circuit court to explain its reasons
for denying a motion for sanctions.  The appellate court, when
reviewing a circuit court decision to deny sanctions, should look
to the record to determine whether the circuit court had an
adequate basis for making its decision.  In the event the
appellate court finds that the record is insufficient for such
purposes, then remanding the case may be appropriate.  However, a
record is not inherently insufficient when the circuit court does
not provide its reasons for denying the motion.  Therefore, we
remand this case to the appellate court with instructions that it
review the record on appeal to determine whether the circuit court
abused its discretion in denying Lake Environmental's motion for
sanctions."  Accordingly, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed the
appellate court judgment.

The case is LAKE ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., Appellee, v. DAMON T.
ARNOLD, Director of Public Health, et al., Appellants, NO. 118110
(Ill.).  A full-text copy of the Opinion is available at

ASBESTOS UPDATE: 3 Cos. Dropped as Defendants in "Kochera"
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Staci M. Yandle of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Illinois in the case captioned ANDREW V.
KOCHERA, JR., Plaintiff, v. FOSTER WHEELER, LLC, et al.,
Defendants, CASE NO. 14-CV-29-SMY-SCW (S.D. Ill.), separately
denied the motions for summary judgment filed by Defendants
General Electric Company, Ingersoll-Rand Company, and John Crane,
Inc.

With respect to GE and Ingersoll-Rand, Judge Yandle held that the
Court is convinced that a manufacturer should avoid liability on a
failure to warn theory where it designed its products to be used
with asbestos-containing materials.  A jury, Judge Yandle held,
could certainly conclude that it was foreseeable the product would
subject those working with it to the possible hazards of asbestos
exposure.

With respect to John Crane, Judge Yandle held that the record
contains enough circumstantial evidence to create a genuine issue
of material fact.  When viewing the facts in the light most
favorable to the Plaintiff, a reasonably jury could infer that the
Plaintiff was exposed to John Crane asbestos-containing products
while performing his duties aboard the Roosevelt.
