220 Laboratories and Dion-Kindem & Crockett Issue Statement on Lawsuit against David Babaii for WildAid, LLC and Actress Kate Hudson
LOS ANGELES-(Business Wire)-August 26, 2008 - William E. Crockett, managing partner at Dion-Kindem & Crockett Law Firm, issued today a statement on behalf of his client, 220 Laboratories—a Riverside-based industry leader in the manufacturing of uniquely-formulated hair, skin and body products—in regards to a complaint filed in the Superior Court of the State of California vs. defendants David Babaii; David Babaii for WildAid, LLC; Kate Hudson; Universal Packaging Systems, Inc.; and Does 1-50 for seventeen counts including misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud and breach-of-contract.
Mr. Crockett states, “We can demonstrate that our client, 220 Laboratories, invented these beauty products since they are the only source of a key ingredient—volcanic lava ash from Vanuatu—and originated the unique blend of tropical ingredients now being sold by the defendants. We can show our client came up with the entire concept and delivered the product to Babaii's company as set forth in the complaint. The defendants even use photographs of our client in their marketing. 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. In fairness to Ms. Hudson, she may be unaware of the products’ history, as she entered into a relationship with WildAid after the products had already been created. We are working to ensure that our client receives the compensation owed them.â€
