Shook Wins Early Dismissal of Recalled Pressure Cooker Class Action

Shook secured a complete dismissal for SharkNinja when the United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted SharkNinja's motion to dismiss a putative class action (Biscovich v. SharkNinja Operating, LLC), alleging economic harm from the purchase of pressure cookers that were the subject of a voluntary Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The motion was granted without leave to amend. Shook Partner Scott Kaiser led the team, Partner Amir Nassihi argued the motion before the court, and Partner Laura Whitmore, Senior Counsels Andy Trask and Doug Maddock, and Associate Stephen Nichols prepared the motion. Partner Tom Sullivan assisted with the briefing strategy.
