Self-Adhesive Labelstock

In re Pressure Sensitive Labelstock Antitrust Litigation, MDL Docket No. 3:03-MDL-1556 (M.D. Pa.)
 
Cohen Milstein is co-lead counsel in this case that was brought in 2003 on behalf of direct purchasers of self-adhesive labelstock for alleged violations of the U.S. antitrust laws.  The case was consolidated before Chief Judge Vanaskie (M.D. Pa.).  Plaintiffs claim that from 1999 to the present the defendant labelstock manufacturers and their co-conspirators participated in a conspiracy to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize prices for self-adhesive lablestock sold in the United States in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.  Because of defendants' unlawful conduct, plaintiffs paid artificially high prices for self-adhesive labelstock and, as a result, have suffered antitrust injury.
