Court ends suit over cigarette warnings shielding companies
The 1st U S Circuit Court of Appeals ruled warnings on cigarette packs pre empt health liability claims, shielding Liggett and Myers and similar firms from Palmer heirs’ 1983 suit. The decision cites the 1965 federal labeling act and notes Congress aimed for national balance, not state jury outcomes. A similar ruling had occurred in the 11th Circuit days earlier.
