3M COMPANY: Epps Sues Over Exposure to Toxic Aqueous Foams

COMPANY; TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS LP, as successor-in-interest to The
Ansul Company; UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION; UTC FIRE & SECURITY
AMERICAS CORPORATION, INC. (f/k/a GE Interlogix, Inc.), Case No.
2:24-cv-00572-RMG (D.S.C., Feb. 2, 2024), is brought for damages
for personal injury resulting from exposure to aqueous film-forming
foams ("AFFF") containing the toxic chemicals collectively known as
per and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"). PFAS includes, but is
not limited to, perfluorooctanoic acid ("PFOA") and perfluorooctane
sulfonic acid ("PFOS") and related chemicals including those that
degrade to PFOA and/or PFOS.

AFFF is a specialized substance designed to extinguish
petroleum-based fires. It has been used for decades by military and
civilian firefighters to extinguish fires in training and in
response to Class B fires. The Defendants collectively designed,
marketed, developed, manufactured, distributed, released, trained
users, produced instructional materials, promoted, sold, and/or
otherwise released into the stream of commerce AFFF with knowledge
that it contained highly toxic and bio persistent PFASs, which
would expose end users of the product to the risks associated with
PFAS. Further, the Defendants designed, marketed, developed,
manufactured, distributed, released, trained users, produced
instructional materials, promoted, sold and/or otherwise handled
and/or used underlying chemicals and/or products added to AFFF
which contained PFAS for use in firefighting.

PFAS binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to the
material and remains and persists over long periods of time. Due to
their unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and
body of exposed individuals. PFAS are highly toxic and carcinogenic
chemicals. Defendants knew, or should have known, that PFAS remain
in the human body while presenting significant health risks to
humans.

The Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products were used by the
Plaintiff in their intended manner, without significant change in
the products' condition. Plaintiff was unaware of the dangerous
properties of the Defendants' AFFF products and relied on the
Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of the products.
Plaintiff's consumption, inhalation and/or dermal absorption of
PFAS from Defendant's AFFF products caused Plaintiff to develop the
serious medical conditions and complications alleged herein.

Through this action, Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory and
punitive damages arising out of the permanent and significant
damages sustained as a direct result of Decedent's exposure to
Defendants' AFFF products at various locations during the course of
Decedent's training and firefighting activities. Plaintiff further
seeks injunctive, equitable, and declaratory relief arising from
the same, says the complaint.

The Plaintiff regularly used, and was thereby directly exposed to,
AFFF in training and during his service in the United States Navy
and was diagnosed with prostate cancer as a result of exposure to
Defendants' AFFF products.

The Defendants are designers, marketers, developers, manufacturers,
distributors, releasers, instructors, promotors and sellers of PFAS
containing AFFF products or underlying PFAS containing chemicals
used in AFFF production.[BN]

3M COMPANY: Toitch Sues Over Exposure to Toxic Film-Forming Foams
-----------------------------------------------------------------

INC.; WITMER PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP; Case No. 2:24-cv-01444-RMG
(D.S.C., Feb. 6, 2024), is brought for damages for personal injury
resulting from exposure to aqueous film-forming foams ("AFFF")
containing the toxic chemicals collectively known as per and
polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"). PFAS includes, but is not
limited to, perfluorooctanoic acid ("PFOA") and perfluorooctane
sulfonic acid ("PFOS") and related chemicals including those that
degrade to PFOA and/or PFOS.

AFFF is a specialized substance designed to extinguish
petroleum-based fires. It has been used for decades by military and
civilian firefighters to extinguish fires in training and in
response to Class B fires. TOG is personal protective equipment
designed for heat and moisture resistance in order to protect
firefighters in hazardous situations. Most turnout gear is made up
of a thermal liner, moisture barrier, and an outer layer. The inner
layers contain PFAS, and the outer layer is often treated with
additional PFAS.

The Defendants collectively designed, marketed, developed,
manufactured, distributed, released, trained users, produced
instructional materials, promoted, sold, and/or otherwise released
into the stream of commerce AFFF and or TOG with knowledge that it
contained highly toxic and bio persistent PFAS, which would expose
end users of the product to the risks associated with PFAS.
Further, defendants designed, marketed, developed, manufactured,
distributed, released, trained users, produced instructional
materials, promoted, sold and/or otherwise handled and/or used
underlying chemicals and/or products added to AFFF or TOG which
contained PFAS for use in firefighting.

PFAS binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to it where
it remains and persists over extended periods of time. Due to their
unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and body
of exposed individuals. PFAS are highly toxic and carcinogenic
chemicals. Defendants knew, or should have known, that PFAS remains
in the human body while contemporaneously presenting significant
health risks to humans.

The Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF or TOG products were used by
Plaintiff in their intended manner, without significant change in
the products' condition. Plaintiff was unaware of the dangerous
properties of the Defendants' AFFF or TOG products and relied on
the Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of the
products. Plaintiff's consumption, inhalation and/or dermal
absorption of PFAS from Defendant's AFFF or TOG products caused
Plaintiff to develop the serious medical conditions and
complications alleged herein.

Through this action, Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory and
punitive damages arising out of the permanent and significant
damages sustained as a direct result of exposure to Defendants'
AFFF or TOG products at several Fire Departments and or Military
bases during Plaintiff's training and firefighting activities.
Plaintiff further seeks injunctive, equitable, and declaratory
relief arising from the same, says the complaint.

The Plaintiff Cathy Toitch is the duly-appointed personal
representative/administrator/executor of the Estate of Robert
Toitch who regularly used, and was thereby directly exposed to,
AFFF and TOG in training and to extinguish fires during his working
career as a military and/or civilian firefighter and was diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer as a result of exposure to Defendants' AFFF
and TOG products. Decedent's diagnosis caused and/or contributed to
his death.

The Defendants are designers, marketers, developers, manufacturers,
distributors, releasers, instructors, promotors and sellers of PFAS
containing AFFF products or underlying PFAS containing chemicals
used in AFFF production.[BN]

RICHARD WISTISEN, Defendants, Case No. 0:24-cv-00970 (D. Minn.,
March 19, 2024) is an action arising from the Defendants' unlawful
agreement to fix prices for Granulated Sugar in the United States
in violation of the Sherman Act.

According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, to implement their
price-fixing conspiracy, Defendants exchanged detailed,
competitively sensitive, non-public information about Granulated
Sugar prices, capacity, sales volume, supply, and demand.
Defendants understood that by sharing this competitively sensitive
information with one another, they could hinder their customers'
ability to negotiate with them on price.

As a result of the Defendants' unlawful agreement, commercial
indirect purchasers of Granulated Sugar in the United States and
its territories, including Plaintiff and the Class members, paid
supra-competitive prices for Granulated Sugar sold by Defendants in
the United States and its territories beginning no later than
January 1, 2019, and running through the present, says the suit.

ASR GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC. operates as a holding company. The
Company, through its subsidiaries, refines purchased raw cane sugar

Defendant, Case No. 3:24-cv-00312 (M.D. Tenn., March 18, 2024) is
an action alleging that the Defendant failed to prevent the massive
data breach whereby hackers known as "ALPHV/Blackcat" ("Blackcat")

and are not receiving the services that they have paid for.

for their healthcare services and have incurred extra costs from
switching to another healthcare payment software, says the suit.

accordance with state and federal law.

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that as a result of the
Defendants' negligence, failures, and omissions, a well-known group
of cybercriminals, called ALPHV/Blackcat ("Blackcat") that have
been known for some time to target healthcare organizations, was
able to infiltrate Defendants' computers networks and steal for
ransom confidential health data and source code, among other things
("Data Breach"). The Plaintiff asserts that the Data Breach exposed
the vulnerabilities in the Defendants' computer networks and as a
result, Defendants took all of the affected computer networks
offline, leaving healthcare providers in dire straits.

The Defendants' negligence, failures, and omissions have
catastrophically harmed hard-working medical providers around the
country, forcing many to the edge of bankruptcy and delaying or
denying vital medical treatments needed by patients around the
county, says the Plaintiff.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS: Harper Bid for Partial Summary Ruling Nixed
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as LIONEL HARPER, DANIEL
SINCLAIR, HASSAN TURNER, LUIS VAZQUEZ, and PEDRO ABASCAL,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated and all
aggrieved employees, v. CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, Case No.
2:19-cv-00902-WBS-DMC (E.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge William Shubb
entered an order denying the Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary
judgment.

Harper also requests that the court confirm his standing to sue
under PAGA by declaring him an "aggrieved employee" pursuant to the
statute.
Pursuant to its discretion, the court declines to do so at this
time.

Harper identifies no binding authority compelling the court to do
otherwise. Neither does he offer good reasons why "it will be
prudent to decide a PAGA plaintiff's aggrieved status first" in
this present case, at summary judgment. Neither can the court
discern any.
The Plaintiffs Lionel Harper and Daniel Sinclair move for partial
summary judgment on various alleged violations of the California
Labor Code. The violations relate to the Plaintiffs' claim for
unlawful calculation, deduction, and payment of commission wages;
and claim for failure to provide timely and complete copies of
employment records.

Harper also requests that the court determine that he is an
"aggrieved employee" pursuant to his Private Attorneys General Act
("PAGA") claim.

Charter is an American telecommunications and mass media company.

CONTINENTAL AG: Alessi Sues Over Tire Price Monopoly
----------------------------------------------------
JOHN ALESSI, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CONTINENTAL AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT; CONTINENTAL
TIRE THE AMERICAS, LLC; COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS;
MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA, INC.; NOKIAN TYRES PLC; NOKIAN TYRES INC;
NOKIAN TYRES U.S. OPERATIONS LLC; THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER
COMPANY; PIRELLI & C. S.P.A.; PIRELLI TIRE LLC; BRIDGESTONE
CORPORATION; BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS, INC.; AND DOES 1-100,
Defendants, Case No. 6:24-cv-01305-JDA (D.S.C., March 18, 2024)
alleges violation of the Sherman Act.

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants entered
into and engaged in a continuing combination, conspiracy or
agreement to unreasonably restrain trade or commerce in violation
of the Sherman Act, by artificially restraining competition with
respect to the price of new replacement tires for passenger cars,
vans, trucks and buses sold within the United States, with the
purpose and effect of raising prices.

The Defendants' unlawful agreements to fix the prices of
replacement tires is supported by: (1) their sudden and dramatic
price increases beginning in February 2021, which was not
economically rational unless they were involved in a conspiracy to
fix prices; (2) the European Commission ("EC") raids; (3) the
highly concentrated nature of the tire market in the United States;
(4) high barriers to entry in the tire market; (5) the lack of
substitutes for tires; (6) the standardization and thus
interchangeability of tires; and (7) the motive and opportunity for
Defendants to conspire with one another to fix the prices of tires,
alleges the suit.

The Plaintiff and the Classes have suffered and will continue to
suffer these injuries, including paying an anticompetitive
overcharge for new replacement tires as a result of the Defendants'
anticompetitive agreements, the suit added.

CONTINENTAL AG manufactures tires, automotive parts, and industrial
products. The Company produces passenger cars, trucks, commercial

GREENSBORO COLLEGE: Adkins-Pennix Sues Over Alleged Data Breach
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL ADKINS-PENNIX, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. GREENSBORO COLLEGE, Defendant,
Case No. 1:24-cv-00247-WO-LPA (M.D.N.C., March 20, 2024) alleges
that the Defendant failed to implement adequate and reasonable
cyber-security procedures and protocols necessary to protect the
Plaintiff's and Class Members' first and last name, Social Security
number, student identification number, date of birth, passport
number, and health information. ("Private Information").

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that through the ransomware
attack, criminal cyberthieves accessed and exfiltrated Plaintiff's
and Class Members' Private Information. Despite first becoming
aware of the Data Breach on or around August 2023, Defendant did
not notify Plaintiff and other Class Members until on or around
February 29, 2024 ("Notice of Data Breach").

As a result of the Data Breach, the Plaintiff and over 52,000 Class
Members suffered injury and ascertainable losses in the form of the
present and imminent threat of raud and identity theft, loss of the
benefit of their bargain, out-of-pocket expenses, loss of value of
their time reasonably incurred to remedy or mitigate the effects of
the attack, and the loss of, and diminution in, value of their
personal information, says the suit.

HERMES OF PARIS, INC.'; and DOES 1 through 10, inclusive,
Defendants, Case No. 3:24-cv-01707-AGT (N.D. Cal., March 19, 2024)
alleges violation of the Sherman Act.

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants are
engaged in unlawful practice of tying the purchase of the
Defendants' popular Birkin bags to the purchase of other
Defendant's luxury clothing and accessory items.

The Defendants implemented a scheme to exploit the market power by
requiring consumers to purchase other, ancillary products from the
Defendants before they will be given an opportunity to purchase a
Birkin handbag. With this scheme Defendants were able to
effectively increase the price of Birkin handbags and, thus, the
profits that Defendants earn from Birkin handbags, says the suit.

accessories and apparel. The Company offers leather, scarves,
clothes, ties, perfume, watches, stationery, shoes, hats, gloves,

NATIONAL COLLEGIATE: Brantmeier Balks at Athlete's Pay Prohibition
------------------------------------------------------------------
REESE BRANTMEIER, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION, Defendant, Case No. 1:24-cv-00238 (M.D.N.C., March 18,
2024) alleges violation of the Sherman Act and Clayton Act.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiff and the Class seek to
challenge the NCAA's arbitrary and anticompetitive prize
restrictions and seek declaratory and injunctive relief striking
such anticompetitive rules and Bylaws of the NCAA that prevent the
Plaintiff and the Class from retaining full and just compensation
for monetary prizes earned through their athletic performance
outside of NCAA competitions without jeopardizing their NCAA
eligibility.

While the NCAA allows its member institutions to financially
benefit from the publicity associated with the student-athletes who
compete in non-NCAA competitions, the NCAA prohibits the
student-athletes from accepting Prize Money earned for their
athletic performance and achievement in such competitions, except
to cover "actual and necessary expenses." Violations of these
restrictions result in a loss of the student-athlete's NCAA
eligibility to play that sport at the varsity collegiate level,
says the suit.

PBF HOLDING: Goldenstein Class Suit Answering Brief Due April 22
----------------------------------------------------------------
PBF Holding Co. disclosed in its Form 10-K Report for the fiscal
period ending December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 1, 2024, that the Goldenstein class
suit answering brief will be due on April 22, 2024.

On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil
Corporation, et al., the Company and PBF LLC, and itsr
subsidiaries, PBF Western Region and Torrance Refining and the
manager of its Torrance refinery along with ExxonMobil were named
as defendants in a class action and representative action
complaint.

The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of
California, County of Los Angeles and alleges negligence, strict
liability, ultra-hazardous activity, a continuing private nuisance,
a permanent private nuisance, a continuing public nuisance, a
permanent public nuisance and trespass resulting from the February
18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator ("ESP") explosion at the
Torrance refinery, which was then owned and operated by ExxonMobil.


The operation of the Torrance refinery by the PBF entities
subsequent to our acquisition in July 2016 is also referenced in
the complaint.

To the extent that plaintiffs' claims relate to the ESP explosion,
ExxonMobil retained responsibility for any liabilities that would
arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the
acquisition of the Torrance refinery.

On July 2, 2018, the Court granted leave to plaintiffs to file a
Second Amended Complaint alleging groundwater contamination.

With the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs added
an additional plaintiff, Hany Youssef.

On October 15, 2019, the judge granted certification to two limited
classes of property owners with Youssef as the sole class
representative and named plaintiff, rejecting two other proposed
subclasses based on negligence and on strict liability for
ultrahazardous activities.

The certified subclasses relate to trespass claims for ground
contamination and nuisance for air emissions.

On May 5, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their
complaint for the third time to substitute Navarro for Youssef.

On July 5, 2022, the Court issued a final order ruling that
Plaintiffs' Motion to Substitute Navarro as Class Representative
was denied and decertifying both of Plaintiffs' proposed Air and
Ground Subclasses.

The order provided that the case will proceed with Navarro as the
sole plaintiff.

On September 22, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed.


On February 27, 2023, the Court issued an order granting its motion
for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed Plaintiff's trespass
claim with prejudice and granted Plaintiff leave to amend his
nuisance claims in conformity with the order if he can do so
consistent with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures.

On March 27, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Fourth Amended Complaint
relating to the remaining nuisance claims.

On May 23, 2023, the Court denied its motion to dismiss on the
pleadings for Plaintiff's failure to establish standing to bring
the nuisance claims.

After completing further discovery, on August 28, 2023, the Company
filed a Motion for Summary Judgment.

On October 18, 2023, the Court issued an order granting its motion,
adjudged that Plaintiff take nothing, and that the action be
dismissed with prejudice.

The order also allows the Company to recover the costs of suit
pursuant to a bill of costs.

On October 30, 2023, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the
Ninth Circuit regarding the Court's order granting summary
judgment.

Plaintiff's opening brief is due March 22, 2024 and its answering
brief is due April 22, 2024.

The Company presently believe the outcome of this litigation will
not have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

supplier based in New Jersey.[BN]

  Deadline for Plaintiffs to file motion for      Oct. 16, 2024
  class certification: (noted on the fourth
  Friday after filing and service of the

  Class:

  Hearing on Motion to Certify Class:             To be set by the

                                                  Court after

                                                  completed

The court will set further case schedule deadlines pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b) after ruling on the motion
for class certification.

The dates set in this scheduling order are firm dates that can be
changed only by order of the court, not by agreement of the
parties.

The court will alter these dates only upon good cause shown. The
failure to complete discovery within the time allowed will not
ordinarily constitute good cause.

SENTINELONE INC: Jones Sues Over Invalid Advance Notice Bylaw
-------------------------------------------------------------
ANDREW JONES, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated stockholders of SENTINELONE, INC., Plaintiff v. CHARLENE
T. BEGLEY; AARON HUGHES; MARK S. PEEK; ANA PINCZUK; DANIEL
SCHEINMAN; TEDDIE WARDI; TOMER WEINGARTEN; and SENTINELONE, INC.,
Defendants, Case NO. 2024-0273 (Del. Ch., March 19, 2024) seeks
declaratory relief invalidating the Advance Notice Bylaw of
SentinelOne, Inc.

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that SentinelOne has an
advance notice bylaw that requires any stockholder seeking to
nominate a candidate to the board of directors (the "Board") to
provide advance notice of such nomination to the Company (the
"Advance Notice Bylaw"). The Advance Notice Bylaw dictates the time
period during which a notice of nomination must be received by the
Company, the nomination window -- and sets forth the requirements
of what information must be included in a notice of nomination.
SentinelOne's Advance Notice Bylaw, however, incorporates a
definition of "Acting in Concert" that renders the Advance Notice
Bylaw preclusive and coercive.

As a result, the Advance Notice Bylaw effectively limits the scope
of stockholders' voting rights to voting for or against candidates
nominated by the Board, and is fundamentally inconsistent with the
notion that stockholders' right to vote includes the right to
nominate, says the suit.

SENTINELONE, INC. operates as a software company. The Company
develops security platforms to protect organizations against

damages caused by the Defendant's violations of the federal
securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the reports made by the
Defendants with the SEC were materially false and misleading
because they misrepresented and failed to disclose the adverse
facts pertaining to the Company's business, operations, and
prospects, which were known to the Defendants or recklessly
disregarded by them.

The Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to
disclose that: (1) Defendants materially overstated SSR Mining's
commitment to safety and the efficacy of its safety measures; (2)
SSR Mining engaged in unsafe mining practices which were reasonably
likely to result in a mining disaster; and (3) as a result,
Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and
prospects, were materially false and misleading and lacked a
reasonable basis at all times.

The price of SSR Mining stock declined by $0.37 per share, or 7.93
percent, to close at $4.29 on February 28, 2024. As a result of the
Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous
decline in the market value of the Company's common shares,
Plaintiff and the other Class members have suffered significant
losses and damages, says the suit.

SSR MINING INC. operates as a precious metal mining company. The
Company focuses on operation, development, exploration, and
acquisition of precious metal projects which includes gold, silver,
and mineral properties. [BN]

TRANSPERFECT TRANSLATIONS: Metcalf Bid to Certify Class Partly OK'd
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MICHELE METCALF and HANNAH
LAWSON, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, v. TRANSPERFECT TRANSLATIONS INTERNATIONAL INC., Case No.
1:19-cv-10104-ER-KHP (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Edgardo Ramos
entered an order adopting a Report and Recommendation (R&R),
recommending that the Court grant in part and deny in part the
motion to certify the class action.

The Court adopts the R&R in its entirety. The parties are directed
to meet and confer about the proposed Notice to th e Class and
submit it to the Court for approval within 14 days of the date of
this Opinion and Order.

The Plaintiff bring this putative class action alleging that
TransPerfect violated provisions of New York labor law.

Specifically, the Plaintiffs allege that TransPerfect failed to pay
them and other similarly situated employees overtime pay between
December 31, 2018 and September 20191in violation of New York City
regulations, and failed to provide them with accurate wage
statements pursuant to New York Labor Law ("NYLL").

On Novemb 6, 2023, Magistrate Judge Katherine H. Parker, to whom
the motion to certify the class action was referred, issued the
R&R, recommending that the Court grant in part and deny in part the
motion.

Specifically, Judge Parker recommended that the Court certify a
narrower class than Plaintiffs proposed:

   "All TransPerfect salaried employees in New York City
   who were paid $1,125.00 per week or less during the Relevant
   Period who did not sign Arbitration Agreements."

TransPerfect is a corporate language services provider.

WAL-MART STORES: Acne Products Contain Benzene, Emery Says
----------------------------------------------------------
CHRISTOPHER EMERY; and ANTHONY RYAN, individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. WAL-MART STORES, INC.,
Case No. 3:24-cv-05019-BCW (W.D. Mo., March 20, 2024) is a class
action lawsuit regarding the Defendant's manufacturing,
distribution, advertising, marketing, and sale of Defendant's
Equate brand benzoyl peroxide products (the "BPO Products") that
contain dangerously high levels of benzene, a carcinogen that has
been linked to leukemia and other blood cancers.

According to the Plaintiffs in the complaint, prior to placing the
BPO Products into the stream of commerce and into the hands of
consumers to use on their skin, Defendant knew or should have known
that the BPO Products contained benzene, but misrepresented,
omitted, and concealed this fact to consumers, including the
Plaintiffs and Class members, by not including benzene on the BPO
Products' labels or otherwise warning consumers about its
presence.

The Plaintiffs and Class members reasonably relied on the
Defendant's representations that the BPO Products were safe,
unadulterated, and free of any carcinogens that are not listed on
the label. As a result, the Plaintiffs and the putative Class
members suffered economic damages in that the BPO Products were
worth less than the product they thought they had purchased had
Defendant's representations been true, says the suit.

WALMART INC. operates discount stores, supercenters, and
neighborhood markets. The Company offers merchandise such as
apparel, house wares, small appliances, electronics, musical

ZIPRECRUITER INC: Jones Sues Over Invalid Advance Notice Bylaw
--------------------------------------------------------------
ANDREW JONES, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated stockholders of ZIPRECRUITER, INC., Plaintiff v. BRIE
CARERE; YVONNE HAO; CIPORA HERMAN; BLAKE IRVING; ERIC LIAW; EMILY
MCEVILLY; IAN SIEGEL; and ZIPRECRUITER, INC., Defendants, Case No.
2024-0278 (Del. Ch., March 20, 2024) seeks declaratory relief
invalidating the Advance Notice Bylaw of ZipRecruiter, Inc.

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that ZipRecruiter has an
advance notice bylaw that requires any stockholder seeking to
nominate a candidate to the board of directors (the "Board") to
provide advance notice of such nomination to the Company (the
"Advance Notice Bylaw"). The Advance Notice Bylaw dictates the time
period during which a notice of nomination must be received by the
Company, the nomination window, and sets forth the requirements of
what information must be included in a notice of nomination.

The Advance Notice Bylaw, however, incorporates a definition of
"Acting in Concert" that renders the Advance Notice Bylaw
preclusive and coercive. The Acting in Concert definition contained
in the Advance Notice Bylaw effectively serves as a deterrent to
stockholder nominations. As a result, the Advance Notice Bylaw
effectively limits the scope of stockholders' voting rights to
voting for or against candidates nominated by the Board, and is
fundamentally inconsistent with the notion that stockholders' right
to vote includes the right to nominate, says the suit.

ZIPRECRUITER, INC. provides employment services. The Company offers
recruiting, hiring, job boards, posting, web application, candidate
screening, applicant tracking, and job alerts services. [BN]

                        Asbestos Litigation

ASBESTOS UPDATE: BNS Sub Has 58 Pending Claims as of Dec. 31
------------------------------------------------------------
Steel Partners Holdings L.P.'s majority owned subsidiary, BNS Sub,
has been named as a defendant in multiple alleged asbestos-related
toxic-tort claims filed over a period beginning in 1994 through
December 31, 2023, according to the Company's Form 10-K filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company states, "There were approximately 58 pending asbestos
claims as of December 31, 2023. BNS Sub believes it has significant
defenses to any liability for toxic-tort claims. None of these
toxic-tort claims has gone to trial and, therefore, there can be no
assurance that these defenses will prevail. BNS Sub has insurance
policies covering asbestos-related claims for years beginning 1974
through 1988. BNS Sub annually receives retroactive billings or
credits from its insurance carriers for any increase or decrease in
claims accruals as claims are filed, settled or dismissed, or as
estimates of the ultimate settlement costs for the then-existing
claims are revised. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, BNS Sub has
accrued $1,357 and $1,418, respectively, relating to the open and
active claims against BNS Sub. This accrual includes the amount of
unpaid retroactive billings submitted to the Company by the
insurance carriers and also the Company's best estimate of the
likely costs for BNS Sub to settle these claims outside the amounts
funded by insurance. There can be no assurance that the number of
future claims and the related costs of defense, settlements or
judgments will be consistent with the experience to-date of
existing claims and that BNS Sub will not need to significantly
increase its estimated liability for the costs to settle these
claims to an amount that could have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: CarParts.com Faces Product Liability Claims
------------------------------------------------------------
A wholly-owned subsidiary of the CarParts.com, Inc., Automotive
Specialty Accessories and Parts, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary Whitney Automotive Group, Inc. ("WAG"), are named
defendants in several lawsuits involving claims for damages caused
by installation of brakes during the late 1960's and early 1970's
that contained asbestos, according to the Company's Form 10-K
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company states, "WAG marketed certain brakes, but did not
manufacture any brakes. WAG maintains liability insurance coverage
to protect its and the Company's assets from losses arising from
the litigation and coverage is provided on an occurrence rather
than a claims made basis, and the Company is not expected to incur
significant out-of-pocket costs in connection with this matter that
would be material to its consolidated financial statements.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Forum Energy Has $300K Liability as of Dec. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
One of the subsidiaries of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., has
been named as one of many defendants in a number of product
liability claims for alleged exposure to asbestos used in valves,
according to the Company's Form 10-K filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company states, "As of December 31, 2023, our subsidiary has a
net liability of $0.3 million for the estimated indemnity cost
associated with the resolution of its current open claims and
future claims anticipated to be filed during the next five years.

"Due to a number of uncertainties, the actual costs of resolving
these pending claims could be substantially higher than the current
estimate. Among these are uncertainties as to the ultimate number
and type of lawsuits filed, the amounts of claim costs, the impact
of bankruptcies of other companies with asbestos suits or of our
insurers, and potential legislative changes and uncertainties
surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction and from case to case. In addition, future claims
beyond the five-year forecast period are possible, but the accrual
does not cover losses that may arise from such additional future
claims. Therefore, any such future claims could result in a loss."

https://urlcurt.com/u?l=Kq48xj


ASBESTOS UPDATE: Met-Pro Has 313 Pending Cases as of Dec. 31
------------------------------------------------------------
CECO Environmental Corp.'s subsidiary, Met-Pro, beginning in 2002
began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a
large number of industrial companies including, in particular,
those in the pump and fluid handling industries, according to the
Company's Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The Company states, "Based upon the most recent information
available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total
of 313 cases pending against the Company as of December 31, 2023
(with Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the
largest number of cases), as compared with 247 cases that were
pending as of December 31, 2022. During 2023, 169 new cases were
filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 74
cases and settled 29 cases. Most of the pending cases have not
advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of
cases are on schedules leading to or are scheduled for trial. The
Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the
cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable
future, assuming a continuation of the current volume, nature of
cases and settlement amounts. However, the Company has no control
over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it, nor
as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to
coverage."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: MLIC Increases Liability to $364MM at Dec. 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MLIC) has increased its
recorded liability for asbestos-related claims to $364 million at
December 31, 2023, according to the Company's Form 10-K filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company states, "The recorded liability was $320 million at
December 31, 2022.

"The ability of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to estimate its
ultimate asbestos exposure is subject to considerable uncertainty,
and the conditions impacting its liability can be dynamic and
subject to change. The availability of reliable data is limited and
it is difficult to predict the numerous variables that can affect
liability estimates, including the number of future claims, the
cost to resolve claims, the disease mix and severity of disease in
pending and future claims, the willingness of courts to allow
plaintiffs to pursue claims against Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company when exposure to asbestos took place after the dangers of
asbestos exposure were well known, and the impact of any possible
future adverse verdicts and their amounts.

"The ability to make estimates regarding ultimate asbestos exposure
declines significantly as the estimates relate to years further in
the future. In the Company's judgment, there is a future point
after which losses cease to be probable and reasonably estimable.
It is reasonably possible that the Company’s total exposure to
asbestos claims may be materially greater than the asbestos
liability currently accrued and that future charges to income may
be necessary, but management does not believe any such charges are
likely to have a material effect on the Company's financial
position.

"Metropolitan Life Insurance Company reevaluates on a quarterly and
annual basis its exposure from asbestos litigation, including
studying its claims experience, reviewing external literature
regarding asbestos claims experience in the United States,
assessing relevant trends impacting asbestos liability and
considering numerous variables that can affect its asbestos
liability exposure on an overall or per claim basis. Based upon its
regular reevaluation of its exposure from asbestos litigation,
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has updated its recorded
liability for asbestos-related claims. The frequency of severe
claims relating to asbestos has not declined as expected, and MLIC
has reflected this in its provisions."

https://urlcurt.com/u?l=6MPxNq


ASBESTOS UPDATE: NL Industries Has 108 Pending Exposure Cases
-------------------------------------------------------------
NL Industries, Inc., has been named as a defendant in various
lawsuits in several jurisdictions, alleging personal injuries as a
result of occupational exposure primarily to products manufactured
by its former operations containing asbestos, silica and/or mixed
dust, according to the Company's Form 10-K filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company states, "There are 108 of these types of cases pending,
involving a total of approximately 582 plaintiffs. In addition, the
claims of approximately 8,715 plaintiffs have been administratively
dismissed or placed on the inactive docket in Ohio state courts. We
do not expect these claims will be re-opened unless the plaintiffs
meet the courts' medical criteria for asbestos-related claims. We
have not accrued any amounts for this litigation because of the
uncertainty of liability and inability to reasonably estimate the
liability, if any.

"We believe the range of reasonably possible outcomes of these
matters will be consistent with our historical costs (which are not
material). Furthermore, we do not expect any reasonably possible
outcome would involve amounts material to our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity. We have
sought and will continue to vigorously seek, dismissal and/or a
finding of no liability from each claim. In addition, from time to
time, we have received notices regarding asbestos or silica claims
purporting to be brought against former subsidiaries, including
notices provided to insurers with which we have entered into
settlements extinguishing certain insurance policies. These
insurers may seek indemnification from us."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Park-Ohio Co-Defends 132 Personal Injury Cases
---------------------------------------------------------------
Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., is a co-defendant in approximately 132
cases asserting claims on behalf of approximately 184 plaintiffs
alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos,
according to the Company's Form 10-K filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company states, "These asbestos cases generally relate to
production and sale of asbestos-containing products and allege
various theories of liability, including negligence, gross
negligence and strict liability, and seek compensatory and, in some
cases, punitive damages.

"In every asbestos case in which we are named as a party, the
complaints are filed against multiple named defendants. In
substantially all of the asbestos cases, the plaintiffs either
claim damages in excess of a specified amount, typically a minimum
amount sufficient to establish jurisdiction of the court in which
the case was filed (jurisdictional minimums generally range from
$25,000 to $75,000), or do not specify the monetary damages sought.
To the extent that any specific amount of damages is sought, the
amount applies to claims against all named defendants.

"There are three asbestos cases, involving 19 plaintiffs, that
plead specified damages against named defendants. In each of the
three cases, the plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive
damages based on a variety of potentially alternative causes of
action. In two cases, the plaintiff has alleged three counts at $3
million compensatory and punitive damages each; one count at $3
million compensatory and $1 million punitive damages; one count at
$1 million. In the third case, the plaintiff has alleged
compensatory and punitive damages, each in the amount of $20.0
million, for three separate causes of action, and $5.0 million
compensatory damages for the fifth cause of action."
