PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Legal Newsline) – Plaintiffs lawyers’ second chance at a company that makes charcoal-containing toothpaste fares no better than their first, the company says.
For the second time in 2021, Pro Teeth Whitening has filed a motion to dismiss a Rhode Island class action lawsuit that claims charcoal in toothpaste is a “marketing gimmick.” Oklahoma City firm Federman & Sherwood is pursuing the case, along with Hultquist Law of Providence.
But the complaint is more than 100 paragraphs dedicated to summaries of random news articles about activated charcoal, the motion says, as opposed to two paragraphs of individualized allegations on behalf of named plaintiff Chelsea Roussel.
