The plaintiffs’ bar is becoming increasingly aggressive in targeting food, cosmetic, and dietary supplement companies in class action lawsuits. Many of these lawsuits range from the ridiculous to the absurd and are taking up too much time and money to defend.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n \r\n

The time to stop this madness is now. To help defense counsel address this never ending barrage of class action fillings, American Conference Institute (ACI) is pleased to introduce our Advanced Forum on Defending FDA-Regulated Consumer Products Class Actions.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Join us this Fall for two days of comprehensive strategy sessions which will equip you with the tactical tools needed to avoid, combat and defend against the latest class action lawsuits. We look forward to seeing you in New York City for what is sure to be one of the most valuable gatherings of the year!<\/p>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
