Supreme Court unanimously rebukes lower court's handling of Whole Foods baby food case
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a 5th Circuit Court ruling relating to Whole Foods on Tuesday, joining the court in its rebuke of a lower district court's handling of the case.
Tuesday's 9-0 opinion, written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, relates to a lawsuit brought forward in Texas by Sarah and Grant Palmquist. The couple alleged that baby food sold at Whole Foods and manufactured by Hain Celestial Group had harmed their child because it contained heavy metals linked to extensive side effects.
