# Law360 Mentions Kelley Drye Attorneys as Counsel to Riddell in Their Class Action Victory

 January 15, 2015

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the article, ​“False Marketing Claims Over Helmet Concussion Risk Tossed,” *Law360* mentioned partners [Joseph A. Boyle](/Our-People/Joseph-A-Boyle), [Michael C. Lynch](/Our-People/Michael-C-Lynch), and [John E. Villafranco](/Our-People/John-E-Villafranco) as counsel to Riddell in a false advertising class action. The article discusses the victory Kelley Drye achieved for Riddell in which U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle dismissed claims in a proposed class action accusing the sporting goods manufacturer of fraudulently representing their football helmets as capable of reducing the likelihood of concussions. The judge rejected the plaintiff’s complaint saying, ​“is it the helmets’ inability to prevent concussions at all?” Judge Simandle added, ​“failing to articular a consistent basis for their assertions of false advertising, plaintiffs have rendered implausible what may be viable claims.”
