Avvo’s Lawyers in the News.
1. Actress Kate Hudson is being sued over shampoo. She and her celeb stylist, David Babaii, launched their own line of eco-friendly products using a unique key ingredient: volcanic ash. The company 220 Laboratories Inc. filed the suit against Hudson, Babaii and their manufacturer, claiming that Babaii broke an oral agreement with the company. 220 is represented by William Crocket, who had this to say: “We can demonstrate that our client…invented these beauty products. David Babaii and Kate Hudson have said they invented the product. Claiming to have invented and developed a product that is delivered ready-to-go is not only breach-of-contract”it’s fraud.”

She supposedly has failed to pay the company back. Dykes LLC is represented by attorney Daniel Davis.
