Liability Considerations in Austin
Austin families present a distinct plaintiff profile in the baby food heavy metals litigation: the city's tech-industry demographics and health-conscious consumer culture made Austin one of the highest per-capita markets for 'organic' baby food brands including Earth's Best Organic (Hain Celestial, 129 ppb arsenic) and HappyBABY (Nurture Inc., up to 180 ppb arsenic). Parents who specifically chose organic brands because they believed them to be safer may have particularly strong deceptive marketing and misrepresentation claims on top of the standard products liability theories. Dell Children's Medical Center's autism program provides ASD evaluations and documentation. Texas ECI records for Travis County children document early developmental concerns from birth to age 3.
