At the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library, legacy.
library.ucsf.edu, you can find internal documents from the files of top tobacco companies. Within this site, at www.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/litigation/summary.html, you can find a summary chart of tobacco lawsuits by state. Select one of the states to view the complaints filed in the case. Read the complaint to find out what claims (i.e., negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty) the plaintiff is bringing. Find out what type of relief the plaintiff is seeking (i.e., damages, injunction, etc.).
Earlier in this chapter, we discussed failureto-warn claims against the fast-food industry, and we noted that Congress is considering banning all obesity-related claims against fast-food restaurants.
Write a paper in which you compare the fast-food litigation to the tobacco litigation.
