A neighborhood of Minnesota homeowners has staved off an attempt by General Mills Inc. to derail their proposed federal class action against the company for allegedly failing to prevent toxic vapors from seeping from a Superfund site into their residences.
U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank of the District of Minnesota denied General Mills’ motion to dismiss Ebert v. General Mills, ruling that the residents had standing and presented sufficient facts to support claims of negligence, nuisance and willful and wanton conduct, as well as for injunctive relief.
