Less than 1: PM Edition, May 28



This evening on Less than 1: Morgan & Morgan and Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi file a putative class action in Orange County over the GKN Aerospace chemical emergency that forced fifty thousand Garden Grove residents to evacuate -- the third lawsuit filed against the aerospace company this week. Also: California Attorney General Rob Bonta sues the company formerly known as 23andMe, alleging it concealed a massive genetic data breach and secretly paid a hacker $400,000 in cryptocurrency. And: a Los Angeles judge signals skepticism toward Southern California Edison's bid to spread Eaton Fire liability to the county and a small Altadena water district. Plus: Governor Newsom signs a bill making it a felony to seize ballots or election equipment without legal authorization, prompted by a Riverside County sheriff's controversial ballot seizure.
