Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Pallmeyer addresses a nutrition company’s motion to dismiss a product liability complaint brought by the parents of a child who developed necrotizing enterocolitis from drinking the company’s tainted baby formula. This consolidated case comprises dozens of individual necrotizing enterocolitis complaints filed in multiple districts, and this motion in particular concerns whether the venue for a specific complaint should be the District of Kansas, as the nutrition company argues, or the District of Western Missouri, as the parents argue. The court has decided Kansas is the proper venue as that is where the majority of the case's action took place, so it dismisses the individual complaint from Missouri with the inclination to allow the parents to file an amended complaint in the proper venue.
