Berger & Montague served as Co-Lead Counsel in an antitrust
case alleging that three manufacturers of infant formula (Abbot
Labs, Bristol-Meyers Squib and American Home Products) conspired to
raise prices. The District Judge, Maurice M. Paul, certified a
class of direct purchasers for the period 1980-1992, denied
defendants' motion for partial summary judgment on the fraudulent
concealment claims and denied days before trial defendants' motions
for summary judgment. See In re Infant Formula antitrust
Litig., 1992 US Dist lexis 21981 (N.D. Fla. 1992). The
litigation was settled a few days before trial was to begin
bringing the total settlement proceeds to $125 million dollars-a
million dollars of which was ultimately provided cy pres
by Judge Paul to the victims of the Hurricane Katrina
disaster. See 2005 US Dist Lexis 32957.
