嬰兒食品含砷事件:Hain Celestial面對集體訴訟挑戰




Hain Celestial必須面對嬰兒食品標籤中的砷指控

美國紐約(路透社) – 一名美國法官表示,Hain Celestial Group(NASDAQ:HAIN)必須面對一項提議的集體訴訟,該訴訟聲稱其標籤未能披露某些嬰兒食品中可能存在的砷。

布魯克林的美國地區法官尼娜·莫里森表示,父母合理地聲稱Hain的Earth’s Best Baby Food產品中某些產品的砷含量超過了“公認的安全閾值”,這將對理性消費者在決定是否為健康、安全的食品支付額外費用時具有重要意義。

在周五的裁決中,莫里森駁回了對其他“重金屬”(包括鉛、鎘和汞)在嬰兒食品中存在的類似指控,認為沒有明確的基準來判定它們對兒童的存在是否不安全。

Hain的股價在週一下跌多達7.2%。

在尋求駁回時,這家位於新澤西州霍博肯的公司表示,父母缺乏起訴的資格,因為他們無法證明對自己或孩子造成了傷害。

Hain還表示,父母未能合理地聲明其標籤具有誤導性,並且重金屬“不可避免地”存在於生長在土壤或水中的成分中。

Hain及其律師在週一沒有立即回應評論請求。父母的律師也未立即回應類似請求。

這起訴訟是眾多指控嬰兒食品生產商隱瞞嬰兒食品中重金屬有毒水平的案件之一。

在舊金山聯邦法院的類似全國性訴訟中,Beech-Nut、Nestle(NS:NEST)的Gerber、Danone(EPA:DANO)的Nurture和沃爾瑪(NYSE:WMT)等公司也被列為被告。他們也否認其嬰兒食品不安全。

根據美國眾議院經濟和消費政策小組委員會在2021年的一份報告,某些嬰兒食品中的“危險”重金屬水平可能會導致神經損傷,父母因此提起訴訟。

案件編號為In re Hain Celestial Heavy Metals Baby Food Litigation,位於美國紐約東區地區法院,案件號碼21-00678。

這起案件反映了消費者對食品安全的高度關注,尤其是在嬰兒食品這一特殊市場。隨著家長對食品成分透明度的要求不斷提高,企業必須更加謹慎地處理產品標籤和成分,以免面臨法律責任。這也突顯了監管機構在確保食品安全方面的角色,尤其是對於可能影響到最脆弱消費者群體的產品。企業在追求利潤的同時,應更加重視社會責任,以維護品牌形象和消費者信任。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, ultra-sharp black and white studio portrait of a young woman with a powerful, direct gaze. She is seated gracefully on a seamless bright white floor, her legs crossed in a stylized, almost sculptural pose, with one knee raised and her hands clasped firmly over it. Her posture exudes a blend of strength and quiet contemplation. Her long, sleek, dark brown hair is meticulously parted down the middle, falling evenly over her shoulders, framing her face with elegant precision. Her makeup is refined and impactful, featuring intensely defined eyes with dark eyeliner, subtle shading, and prominent, well-groomed eyebrows. Her lips are natural, complementing her smooth, matte complexion. She is dressed in a simple, form-fitting black long-sleeved bodysuit, which accentuates the natural contours of her body without distraction. There are no accessories, maintaining a pure and minimalist aesthetic. *** The lighting is soft, even, and highly diffused, creating subtle, sculptural shadows that define her form and facial features without any harshness. The seamless pure white background provides an expansive, ethereal setting, isolating the subject and enhancing the monochromatic palette. The composition is a perfectly balanced medium full shot, centering the model and emphasizing the strong, symmetrical lines of her pose. The image is rendered with exquisite detail and clarity, from the individual strands of her hair to the subtle textures of her skin. The overall style is minimalist fine art portraiture, blending classic elegance with a contemporary edge, focusing on form, emotional depth, and timeless beauty.

The image should look like a wall mural in a graffiti alley. People walking by and looking at the portrait. Aesthetic cozy mirror selfie of a young man sitting casually on a chair, wearing a dark oversized hoodie and blue jeans, holding a professional camera in one hand, resting her face on the other hand with a soft dreamy smile.
