Litigation on approvals and labeling

Challenge unsafe approvals and deceptive practices to force reformulations.

Use strategic litigation to push stronger oversight and curb deceptive practices when voluntary changes or slow regulatory timelines fail. Focus on cases with clear standing, a strong evidence record, and remedies that create enforceable change—so reformulation pressure is durable and not dependent on a single news cycle.

About Litigation
  1. Select plaintiffs and claims with clear standing and a focused legal theory.
  2. File the case and define the specific remedy sought (stop, require, or correct a practice).
  3. Build the record through evidence, briefs, motions, and expert support.
  4. Seek interim relief when needed to prevent ongoing harm while the case proceeds.
  5. Enforce outcomes through compliance monitoring and follow-through after rulings or settlements.
