The Californian Earth Island Institute, represented by Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, received a momentous court order this week allowing its landmark lawsuit to proceed against Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and other major consumer goods companies for allegedly creating a public nuisance from their plastic packaging, polluting California waterways with plastic trash. The lawsuit was filed in February 2020, in San Mateo County Superior Court in California.
