Armstrong Is Liable For Lead Injuries, Should Be Sanctioned Plaintiffs Argue

MILWAUKEE - Residents who contend that they have been poisoned by exposure to lead-based paint on Oct. 23 filed a brief in Wisconsin federal court, arguing that Armstrong Containers Inc. is a success-in-interest to a previous maker of lead-based paint and that the asset sale agreement Armstrong made with a third entity involved an assumption of obligations related to any judgment involved in lead-poisoning litigation. The plaintiffs also seek sanctions against Armstrong related to its denial of successor-in-interest liability (Glenn Burton v. American Cyanamid, et al., No. 07-0303, E.D. Wis.).
