Shook, Hardy & Bacon has long been recognized as one of the premier litigation firms in the country. For more than a century, the firm has defended companies in their most substantial national and international products liability, mass tort and complex litigation matters.
The firm has leveraged its complex product liability litigation expertise to expand into several other practice areas and advance its mission of “being the best in the world at providing creative and practical solutions at unsurpassed value.” As a result, the firm has built nationally recognized practices in areas such as intellectual property, environmental and toxic tort, employment litigation, commercial litigation, government enforcement and compliance, and public policy.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has
released a report on television ads targeting children
with food marketing. The organization assessed the advertisements
shown during six hours of television airing on 12 channels that
show children’s programming and compared the results to a
similar assessment from 2012. The comparison purportedly showed
that the percentage of ads marketing food and beverages is up from
14% to 23%, and “two thirds of food and beverage
advertisements during children's television programming are
unhealthy according to the food industry's own
[Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative]
standards and virtually all are unhealthy according to the more
evidence-based, expert [Interagency Working Group]
standards.”
