class action
Mumbai: It’s getting knottier for Welspun India Ltd, which is set to face two class-action lawsuits in US federal courts. The company was pulled up by some of its largest clients in the US for supply of sheets made of cheap cotton being passed off as the more expensive Egyptian cotton.
The class action complaint, filed with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division, accuses Welspun of violating Missouri’s consumer fraud statutes and other laws, through deception, fraud, false pretence, false promise, misrepresentation, unfair practice or concealment, suppression, breach of warranty and/or omission of material fact, among other things, said the plaintiffs who are represented by Stuart L. Cochran, R. Dean Gresham and Bruce W. Steckler of Steckler Gresham Cochran in Dallas, Texas, and Matthew H. Armstrong of Armstrong Law Firm LLC in St. Louis, Missouri, in a press release on 13 September.
