: How Appealing"Light Cigarettes Makers May Be Sued, Court Rules"
In Tuesday's edition of The Christian Science Monitor, Warren Richey will have an article headlined "Supreme Court rules smokers can sue over 'light' cigarette claims; The decision will make it easier for local residents to recover damages from national firms, consumer groups say."
Robert Barnes and Jerry Markon of The Washington Post have a news update headlined "Court Rules in Favor of Smokers Who Seek to Sue Big Tobacco."
David G. Savage of The Los Angeles Times has a news update headlined "U.S. Supreme Court allows suits over 'light' cigarettes; Smokers say they were deceived into thinking 'light' and 'low tar' brands were safer; The justices' action clears the way for class-action lawsuits, which could imperil tobacco companies."
Michael Doyle of McClatchy Newspapers reports that "Ruling hands big tobacco big setback on state suits."
And this evening's broadcast of NPR's "All Things Considered" contained an audio segment entitled "High Court OKs Cigarette Lawsuits" (RealPlayer required) featuring Nina Totenberg.
