Recorder "Special Report" on 17200
Yesterday's Recorder contained a "special report" on 17200, with articles by, among others, William Stern, the author of The Rutter Group practice guide on 17200. Will's article contains a lot of very informative information about recent UCL decisions and legislative activity. The article mentions Dowhal v. SmithKline Beecham, No. S109306, argued this month before the California Supreme Court, which "presents the question of whether the UCL's prohibition against false advertising can be used to force a manufacturer of nicotine patches to issue warnings about hazards posed to fetuses where the FDA approved the package label without such a warning." Unfortunately, a paid subscription is required to view Recorder articles online.
