It’s neither drugs nor devices today.
It’s fish.
Actually, it’s Farm Raised Salmon, in which the California Supreme Court this morning unanimously rejected the defendants’ preemption defense.

Here’s yet more on the e-mail that Pepper Hamilton allegedly mis-directed to Alex Berenson of the NYT instead of co-counsel Bradford Berenson at Sidley & Austin.
