A whistleblower lawsuit has been filed by a former employee of Mead Johnson Nutrition who alleges that the company's baby formula packaging is defective. The plaintiff, a former compliance director for the company, alleges that she was terminated from her job after she brought up issues with the product's packaging. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, says that the company "touted its hermetically sealed liquid formula as safer than powdered formula," when it was actually more prone to contamination.

A USAA member in McAllen was awarded $1.8 million by Hidalgo County jurors this week after they found the San Antonio insurer acted with â??maliceâ?? in mishandling a claim from a 2012 hailstorm. McAllen lawyer and USAA member John Griffith sued USAA Texas Lloydâ??s Co. and insurance adjuster AllCat Claims Service of Boerne in 2014 accusing them of undervaluing and underpaying his claim for damages to his home. The $1.8 million in damages includes $800,000 to punish USAA for â??clear and convincing evidence that the harm to (Griffith) resulted from malice by USAA.â??
