“Can’t Protect the Safety of Children” (CPSC) Chair Nancy Nord Should Resign |
|
|
(Washington, DC) AAJ — Failing to protect the safety and health of America’s children, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Chair Nancy Nord should immediately resign, the American Association for Justice said today.
“More than 13 million recalled toys on the market should never have been there in the first place, but they were because Nancy Nord was asleep at the helm,” said Jon Haber, American Association for Justice CEO. “When not asleep, she was flying around the world on the tab of the very industries she is supposed to be regulating. She should be working on keeping unsafe toys from ever reaching the hands of our children instead of allowing corporate manufacturers to put unsafe products on America’s shelves at a record pace.”

It was a clause that would come back to haunt them.

Minnesota Association for Justice joins call for fair treatment of disaster victims
A recently released report from the American Association for Justice has exposed how insurance companies have systematically denied policyholders' fair and just claims following Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. The American Association for Justice is affiliated with the Minnesota Association for Justice.
The report, “Pattern of Greed 2007: How Insurance Companies Put Profits over Policyholders,” reveals how insurers collected billions in premiums from policyholders and then stiffed them in their time of greatest need. In the two years since the nation’s worst natural disaster, insurance companies have reaped more $100 billion in profits. To view the report, visit http://www.justice.org/POG2007.pdf

Minnesota Association for Justice members donate funds to stock the shelves at Sabathani |
|
|
|
 The Minnesota Association for Justice has collected $3,585 for Walker’s Market at the Sabathani Community Center in Minneapolis.
Minnesota Association for Justice President Chris Messerly got the idea to donate to Walker’s Market when he saw its empty shelves earlier this summer when he was at the Community Center delivering bike helmets donated by his organization’s members.
“Summer can be a challenging time for food shelves,” Messerly said. “Few children who receive free or reduced-price meals during the school year have the same access to food when school is not in session. Our organization saw a need and decided we wanted to help stock the shelves.”
