Gerald Williams and David Cedar, partners in Williams Cedar LLP, announced today that they have filed a lawsuit against Unilever United States, Inc. and others on behalf of Ashley Sites and Gabriel Yibale, who are seeking damages for the death of Elliana Yibale, the plaintiffs’ five-year-old daughter.
The lawsuit alleges that Elliana, who was born with congenital abnormalities and was immunocompromised, died due to exposure to dangerous bacteria that was found in a line of fabric treatments and home cleaning products under the product name “The Laundress.” These products were sold by the company of the same name from 2004 to 2019, when Unilever bought the company. Unilever continued to market The Laundress brand name until November 2022, when elevated levels of bacteria were found in these products, causing Unilever to recall the entire product line.
