News of Kimberly-Clark requesting a Huggies related lawsuit to be thrown out was the most-viewed news story for the month of February on Nonwovens-Industry.com.
Kimberly-Clark has asked a Texas federal judge to throw a proposed class action suit by four parents alleging that its Huggies brand diapers caused unsafe levels of a proprietary chemical and caused burns. The Dallas, TX-based manufacturer reportedly says the claims are meritless.
The suit was filed by New York Attorney C.K. Lee and the Lee Litigation Group last year, alleging that Huggies diapers caused severe chemical burns to their infants, which in one case involved a life-threatening ulcer. The complaint was lodged in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, where Kimberly-Clark is headquartered, but the plaintiffs hail from four different states and seek to represent a nationwide class of consumers defrauded by Kimberly-Clark.
In other news, Manjushree Spntek is a new nonwovens producer based in Bengaluru, India. The company’s parent company, Manjushree, has four decades of experience serving global consumer giants in the food, beverage, pharma, health and hygiene sectors. The company’s state-of-the-art spunmelt manufacturing unit will initially deliver high performance nonwoven solutions for ICA (infection control apparel), medical disposables and hygiene products. However, the company also intends to serve specialty industrial segments in the future.
