Milwaukee, WI - Glenn Burton, Jr., a minor, by his Guardian ad Litem Susan Gramling, sued American Cyanamid Co. on personal injury, negligence and products liability theories claiming to have been injured and/or damaged as a direct result exposure of lead based paint.
This case was filled in the Circuit Court, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, case no.: 06cv12647, and was removed to federal court by the defendants.
Plaintiffs brought negligence and strict products liability claims against various manufacturers and alleged successors-in-interest to manufacturers of white lead carbonate pigment (WLC). Plaintiffs alleged that they were harmed by ingesting paint containing WLC when they were children. Each plaintiff further alleges that he or she is unable to identify the manufacturer of the WLC that harmed him or her; in consequence, plaintiffs' substantive claims rely on Wisconsin's risk contribution theory of liability which relaxes the traditional causation standard and requires a plaintiff to prove only that defendants "contributed to the risk of injury to the public, and, consequently, ... to the individual plaintiffs."
