#2 More Zantac Cancer Lawsuits and RecallsSanta Clara, CA As more pharmaceutical companies are hit with Zantac cancer lawsuits, they are recalling the acid reflux medication in the U.S. and Canada over complaints of a link to a probable carcinogen called called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a chemical that has already been found in animals.

#8 Neighborhoods Sue Tonawanda Coke Buffalo, NY People living in a Buffalo suburb had good reason to suspect they were being negatively affected by the Tonawanda Coke plant.

That's when the air is overwhelmed visually, combined with a noticeable smell from the plant."
#9 Goldman Sachs 401k Plan Participants file ERISA Lawsuit over Self-DealingNew York, NY A class action ERISA lawsuit filed on October 25 in the Southern District of New York claims that Goldman Sachs Inc. and related defendants failed to administer the Goldman Sachs Group Inc. 401k plan prudently and in the best interest of participants.

Plan fiduciaries did this by keeping many underperforming proprietary mutual funds in the investment lineup.
