Andrew Hutton’s tireless work on behalf of consumers has led to many positive results for citizens across the country, including the removal of dangerous products from the marketplace, the addition of important warning labels, the improvement of existing products, and the purification of vaccines.

In addition, Andy was active in the tobacco litigation due to the firm’s membership in the Castano Plaintiffs’ Litigation Committee, a nationwide consortium of law firms committed to conducting litigation against the tobacco industry, which was resolved as part of the landmark $206 billion Master Settlement Agreement announced in November 1998 between the tobacco industry and the states’ attorney generals. States, cities, and counties sought both to recover the public costs of treating smoking-related diseases and to require the tobacco industry to undertake extensive modifications of its marketing and promotion activities in order to reduce teenage smoking.

Andrew’s work in the 1980s against the manufacturers of the DPT vaccine is often noted to be responsible for the purification of the DPT vaccine, which has resulted in a great reduction in serious reactions to the vaccine.
