Claims for Failure to Recall in California

Brief, p. 2.) [2] Negligent Failure to Recall Last time, the Court continued the hearing because the Personal Injury Plaintiffs failed to cite authority recognizing a claim for negligent failure to recall against an officer or director. (See, e.g., 1/25/22 Tentative Ruling Re: Bowens Demurrer and Motion to Strike, p. 5.) This time, the Personal Injury Plaintiffs cite 12 cases.

Defendants contend that Plaintiff’s failure to recall does not place authenticity at issue. Based on Ruiz, however, Plaintiff’s failure to recall signing the arbitration agreement requires Defendants to authenticate Plaintiff’s signature. Defendants assert that the Arbitration Agreement attached to the Turnbull declaration as Exhibit A is admissible under Evidence Code section 1271.

to recall the vehicle was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff’s harm.

s motion for judgment on the pleadings is granted without leave to amend as to the fourth and fifth causes of action for strict liability based on design defect, granted with 20 days leave to amend as to the seventh cause of action for negligent misrepresentation, and denied as to the sixth and ninth causes of action for strict liability based on manufacturing defect and negligence based on failure to recall the product.

Cal. 2020) 2020 WL 7222098 discusses causes of action for negligence and negligent failure to recall against a manufacturer, not a dealer. Similarly, Seely v. White Motor Co. (1965) 63 Cal.2d 9 only discusses claims against a manufacturer. The other cases Elk Grove relies on do not involve Lemon Law claims or negligent repair causes of action. The court is not persuaded by Elk Gove's argument that Plaintiff's negligent repair claim "arises from, and is not independent of, the warranty contract."

(Irwin) and Applied Nutrition (AN) for strict product liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, failure to warn/negligent failure to recall and loss of consortium. On November 5, 2021, Plaintiffs filed a FAC, removing AN as a Defendant. Plaintiff later amended the complaint to include Defendant Robinson Pharma, Inc. (Robinson). On December 7, 2021, Irwin filed an answer. On July 7, 2022, Robinson filed an answer.

On 8/10/23, pursuant to stipulation and order, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint alleging causes of action for: (1) Strict Liability Design Defect, (2) Negligence Failure to Recall and (3) Negligence. The Second Amended Complaint included a claim for punitive damages against Clorox.

As an initial matter, Plaintiffs are partly correct in arguing that a toxic-torts plaintiff’s failure to recall a particular product is not sufficient to establish an absence of triable issues of fact on exposure. (Opposition at p. 8.) Toxic torts generally occur over long time frames, and a plaintiff’s failure to recall a particular product from decades earlier is not necessarily sufficient to shift the burden from defendant to plaintiff on summary judgment. (See Weber v.

If the claim is re-framed as one for failure to recall a temporarily laid-off employee, Plaintiff has made the showing based on Defendants posting ads for her old position before attempting to reach out to her. The fact that Defendant ultimately did reach out to Plaintiff does little to rebut this showing, as no such outreach was made until Plaintiff filed this action.

The Court of Appeal held that this failure to recall placed the burden “of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic” back on the defendants. (Id. at p. 846.) The court held: Though Ruiz did not deny that the electronic signature on the 2011 agreement was his, he claimed he did not recall signing the 2011 agreement and would not have signed it had it been presented to him.

Plaintiff Tina Kalb alleges that the filter at issue was defective and/or improperly implanted, and brings causes of action for medical malpractice, strict liability-failure to warn, strict liability-design defect, negligence, negligent failure to recall, breach of express and implied warranty, and negligent misrepresentation.

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” Using the above authorities, Defendants have established the existence of an arbitration agreements as shown by the declaration of Steven Turnbull. (Vano Decl., ¶¶ 4-5.) Through her objections, Plaintiff challenges the authenticity of her signature on Exhibits A and B attached to Mr. Vano’s declaration. Mr.

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” Likewise, “[a] trial court ruling on a petition to compel arbitration must resolve the factual issues raised by the petition, not simply determine whether factual disputes exist.” (Brown v. Wells Fargo Bank, NA (2008) 168 Cal.App.4th 938, 953-954).

Plaintiff alleges causes of action for medical malpractice, failure to warn, design defect, negligence, negligent failure to recall, breach of express and implied warranty, and negligent misrepresentation. Her claims are brought against Cook and defendant Stanley M. Batiste, MD. There is currently a multidistrict litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana regarding the same produce.

Failure to Warn, Negligent Failure to Recall/Retrofit – Second and Fourth Causes of Action Defendants contend that Wright Medical’s warnings were adequate as a matter of law, and that there is no evidence that Plaintiff’s surgeon—Dr. Penenberg—would have treated Plaintiff differently if he had been provided a different warning.

Although a plaintiff’s failure to recall use of a given product may show the absence of triable issues where the testimony demonstrates that the plaintiff is generally able to recall the products they worked with during that time frame (See Weber v. John Crane, Inc. (2006) 143 Cal.App.4th 1433, 1440–41), NCH presents no such context here. To obtain summary judgment, NCH must make a showing that plaintiff will be unable to prove its case by any means.

The complaint alleges strict products liability, negligence, failure to recall/retrofit, and premises liability for the rolling of a Genie S-85 telescopic boom causing fatal injuries to decedent Jamie Rubio on August 31, 2017. On May 15, 2019, Defendant/Cross-Defendant Knight-Calabasas, LLC d.b.a. Calabasas Country Club filed a cross-complaint against Roes 1-100 seeking indemnity, contribution, and apportionment of fault.

Negligent Failure to Recall 6. Fraudulent Concealment 7. Violation of Californias False Advertising Law 8. Violation of Californias Unfair Competition Law 9. Fraud 10. Wrongful Death 11. Survival Action On January 14, 2020, Plaintiffs dismissed TMM California, without prejudice.

Although a plaintiff’s failure to recall use of a given product may show the absence of triable issues, the burden is on the moving party to show that the testimony demonstrates that the plaintiff is generally able to recall the products they worked with during that time frame, such that their recall would be of use to the trier of fact. (See Weber, supra, 143 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1440–41.)

(Irwin) and Applied Nutrition (Applied) for strict product liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, failure to warn/negligent failure to recall, and loss of consortium.

Auto Group, Inc. (2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 846, a plaintiff faced with an arbitration agreement similarly claimed not to recall signing the agreement, and the court of appeal held that this failure to recall placed the burden “of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic” back on the defendants. (Id. at p. 846.) The court finds that Defendants have adequately authenticated the arbitration agreement.

Plaintiffs’ failure to recall signing their respective agreements is sufficient to shift the burden back to defendant. (Id. at 1054-55; Ruiz v. Moss Bros. Auto Group, Inc. (2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 844.) “An … electronic signature is attributable to a person if it was the act of the person. The act of the person may be shown in any manner, including a showing of the efficacy of any security procedure applied to determine the person to which the electronic record or electronic signature was attributable.”

DISCUSSION Plaintiffs Michael Model and Soheila Model (Plaintiffs) move the court for an order permitting them to file a Second Amended Complaint to (1) strike (i) the 10th cause of action for negligent failure to recall, (ii) the 12th cause of action for violation of Business and Professions Code section 17200, (iii) various factual allegations, and (iv) the prayers for restitution and injunctive relief, and (2) supplement the factual allegations supporting the remaining causes of action.

Defendant demurs to the following claims brought against it: (5) negligence – design and manufacturing defect and (6) negligence – failure to recall / retrofit. Defendant demurs based on the failure to allege sufficient facts to state a cause of action (due to the statute of limitations expiring) and on uncertainty. Defendant argues the statute of limitations has run on the negligence claims.

A plaintiff’s failure to recall signing his or her agreement is sufficient to shift the burden back to Defendant. (Id. at 1054-55; Ruiz v. Moss Bros. Auto Group, Inc. (2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 844.) “An … electronic signature is attributable to a person if it was the act of the person. The act of the person may be shown in any manner, including a showing of the efficacy of any security procedure applied to determine the person to which the electronic record or electronic signature was attributable.”

(2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 846 (In the face of & failure to recall signing & had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic&.). The relatively brief delay in bringing the motion, after the Answer and discovery, does not constitute a waiver of arbitration. "State law, like the FAA, reflects a strong policy favoring arbitration agreements and requires close judicial scrutiny of waiver claims....

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, ‘the act of’ Ruiz.” (( Id. at p. 844 ); ( see also Civ.

In the face of Ruiz's failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, "the act of" Ruiz. (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a).)

In the face of [employee’s] failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of [employee], and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, “the act of” [employee]. (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a).)

Based upon the discussion set forth above, the court finds that the allegations in the complaint are insufficient to support a claim for punitive damages based on the allegations of intoxication, failure to recall who was driving, and plaintiff’s speculation that “it is quite probable that driving was literally ‘team effort’ by the defendants.” Complaint, Exemplary Damages Attachment, ¶ Ex-2.

If an employee denies signing, or even indicates a failure to recall electronically signing the agreement, the moving party has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature is authentic.

On May 15, 2019, Defendant/Cross-Defendant Knight-Calabasas, LLC d.b.a. Calabasas Country Club filed a cross-complaint against Roes 1-100 seeking indemnity, contribution, and apportionment of fault.

However, [i]n the face of [a plaintiffs] failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, [a defendant has] the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic[.] ( Id . at p. 846.) Chantira Insichienmay declares that Defendant uses a software called UKG UltiPro Solutions (UKG) to provide a portal for the submission of employment applications and the distribution of forms and policies to applicants and employees.

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” Defendant met its initial burden of establishing the existence of an arbitration agreement. Plaintiff, however, disputes that she signed this agreement.

In the face of Ruiz's failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, ‘the act of’ Ruiz. (Civ. Code §1633.9(a).) For the same reason, the evidence was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was what Moss Bros. claimed it was: the electronic signature of Ruiz.

(Walmart) and Defendant The Clorox Company (Clorox) contains causes of action for: (1) Strict Liability Design Defect (against Clorox, Walmart and Does 1-25), (2) Negligence Failure to Recall (against Clorox and Does 1-25); (3) Negligence (against Clorox, Walmart and Does 1-25).

(Lopez Decls., Exs.1-2).

The Hearing Officer found O’Connor’s testimony to be inconsistent and not credible because of her failure to recall the events of June 13, 2012. (Ibid.) On October 2, 2012, O’Connor filed this petition for writ of mandate to set aside the determination of the DMV. O’Connor argues that the evidence in the administrative record does not support the finding that O’Connor refused to complete a chemical test because O’Connor was confused and did not understand the admonition.

As against Defendant General Motors (“GM”), Plaintiffs allege causes of action for strict products liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, failure to warn/negligent failure to recall, and punitive damages based on the subject suburban containing defective parts.

Defendants’ joint demurrer to plaintiff’s sixth cause of action: negligent product liability-failure to recall/retrofit against Jack’s Tire & Oil of California, Inc., Jack’s Tire & Oil Management Company, Inc., Michelin Retread Technologies, Inc. is SUSTAINED WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND on the ground that there is another action pending between the same parties on the same cause of action. (Code Civ. Proc., § 430.10, subd. (c); Ruff I ninth cause of action; Ruff II sixth cause of action.)

Accordingly, for the purpose of a demurrer, plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged a cause of action for negligence and for negligent failure to recall.

Plaintiff vaguely refers to previous accidents and contrasts Defendant’s failure to recall their bicycles to the actions of Lyft and Uber. But these allegations do not show advance knowledge and conscious disregard or extreme indifference to the rights of others. There are no specific facts describing these associated accidents and there is no indication that Lyft and Uber’s bicycles are even the same as the ones used by Defendant or involved in this case.

The court concluded that in the face of Ruiz's failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, the act of Ruiz. ( Id .; cf. Espejo v.

On January 26, 2023, Plaintiffs filed their complaint alleging nine (9) causes of action: 1) strict liability – manufacturing defect; 2) strict liability - design defect; 3) negligence; 4) negligence – failure to recall; 5) breach of express warranty; 6) breach of implied warranty of merchantability; 7) Consumer Legal Remedies Act; 8) loss of consortium; and 9) negligence.

Zemba maintains that Wright’s failure to recall which lawyer assisted him in preparing the false notice is a weak, unpersuasive defense. Zemba asserts Patients Corp.’s fraud on the City extends beyond the false notice to include fraudulent amendments to the corporation’s articles, false stock certificates, and false loan and sale agreements, all prepared by Katcho.

(2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 846 [In the face of [employee's] failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, [employer] had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic].) Accordingly, for the third step, Defendants must establish with admissible evidence a valid arbitration agreement between the parties by a preponderance of the evidence. ( Gamboa , supra , 88 Cal.App.4th at 219.)

Defendant demurs to the following claims brought against it: (5) breach of express warranty, (6) negligence – design and manufacturing defect and (7) negligence – failure to recall / retrofit. Defendants demurs based on the failure to allege sufficient facts to state a cause of action (due to the statute of limitations expiring) and on uncertainty.

If an employee denies signing, or even indicates a failure to recall electronically signing the agreement, the moving party has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature is authentic. ( Ruiz v. Moss Bros. Auto Group, Inc. (2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 846.)

(Sunbelt), and Does one through one hundred (collectively, Defendants), alleging wrongful death via: (1) strict products liability; (2) negligence; (3) failure to recall/retrofit; and (4) premises liability. Sunbelt filed a third-party cross-complaint against West Coast Netting, Inc. (West) and MOES 1 through 100, alleging claims for: (1) breach of contract; (2) express indemnity; (3) declaratory relief; (4) equitable indemnity; and (5) equitable contribution.

If an employee denies signing, or even indicates a failure to recall electronically signing the agreement, the moving party has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature is authentic.

Instead, the plaintiffs actually admitted that they signed a stack of documents, though they did not recall specifically signing an arbitration agreement. ( Ibid. ) Of course, mere failure to recall or read the arbitration agreement was not a sufficient excuse to escape its enforcement. ( Id. at pp. 758-59.) However, Plaintiff here specifically denies signing the arbitration agreement. (Castaneda Decl. ¶¶ 4-6.)

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” Defendant met its burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that an arbitration agreement exists between Defendant and Plaintiff. Defendant presented evidence that Defendant presented the following evidence: (1) Plaintiff worked for Quest Software, Inc.

“In the face of [plaintiff’s] failure to recall signing the . . . agreement, [defendant] had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” (Ruiz v. Moss Bros. Auto Group, Inc. (2014) 232 Cal.App.4th 836, 846.) In Reply, Defendants fail to provide any additional evidence regarding the electronic signature at issue. Thus, the question is whether Defendants’ initial showing was sufficient to authenticate the electronic signature. The answer is “no.”

Defendant demurs to the following claims brought against it: (5) breach of express warranty, (6) breach of implied warranty of merchantability, (7) breach of implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, (8) strict liability – manufacturing defect, (9) strict liability – design defect, (10) strict liability – failure to warn, (11) negligence – design and manufacturing defect and (12) negligence – failure to recall / retrofit.

The court held that [i]n the face of [the employees] failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, and the employers failure to adequately authenticate the agreement, the electronic signature was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, the act of [the employee]. (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a).) The court noted that authenticating an electronic document or signature is not a difficult evidentiary burden to meet, but that it was not met in that case.

There is absolutely no evidence to support that either was anything but a simple oversight (the medical record) or a failure to recall (Dr. Keller’s deposition testimony). Even had they been deliberate - and the Court does not believe they were - the existence of a discovery referee would not have changed anything. Indeed, the errors were voluntarily corrected by defendants themselves, without intervention by either court or referee.

In the face of [employee’s] failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of [employee], and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, “the act of” [employee]. (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a).)

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” Espejo v. Southern California Permanente Medical Group (2016) 246 Cal.App.4th 1047, 1060, explains, “Accordingly, we conclude that defendants here met their initial burden by attaching to their petition a copy of the purported arbitration agreement bearing Espejo’s electronic signature.

In Reply, Defendant argues that Plaintiffs' failure to recall seeing warning labels on brake parts boxes is consistent with the fact that in the early 1980's Defendant began to phase out asbestos-containing parts and that brake or clutch parts not containing asbestos would not have been labeled with asbestos warnings. (See Reply at p. 1:9-22.)

In the face of Ruiz's failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, the act of Ruiz.

Here, the declaration of Chad Thompson states facts to authenticate a writing of Plaintiff’s purported electronic signature.

The court held that [i]n the face of [the employees] failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, and the employers failure to adequately authenticate the agreement, the electronic signature was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, the act of [the employee]. (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a).) The court noted that authenticating an electronic document or signature is not a difficult evidentiary burden to meet, but that it was not met in that case.

In the face of Ruiz’s failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic.” Plaintiff’s declaration states, “I do not know when or if I was asked to electronically sign documents when I applied for work with Aerotek . . . .” (Serpas Decl., ¶ 5.) Plaintiff’s declaration requires Defendants to authenticate Plaintiff’s signature on the Mutual Arbitration Agreement.

In the face of Ruiz's failure to recall signing the 2011 agreement, Moss Bros. had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the electronic signature was authentic (Evid. Code, § 1401), that is, it was what Moss Bros. claimed it was: "the act of" Ruiz (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a)). Moss Bros. did not meet this evidentiary burden. Ruiz, 232 Cal.App.4th at 845-846.

Southern California Permanente Medical Group (2016) 246 Cal.App.4th 1047, 1060; see also Ruiz, supra, 232 Cal.App.4th at 846 (noting that, following responding party’s “failure to recall signing” the arbitration agreement, moving party had the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the signature was authentic).) Defendants have made this showing. Like any other material fact, the authenticity of a document may be established by circumstantial evidence. (Daniel v.

Supp. 728, 732-733, the court stated, "an employer's failure to recall or rehire an individual after a layoff does not constitute a continuing violation of the [Age Discrimination in Employment Act]." Rather, "each alleged discriminatory recall constitutes a separate and completed act by the defendant, which triggers a new [limitations period]." ( Ibid .) More similar to the situation in the case before us, in Narin v. Lower Merion School Dist . (E.D.Pa. 1998) 24 F.

[2] While failure to recall is sufficient to challenge an electronic signatures authenticity ( G amboa v. Northeast Community Clinic (2021) 72 Cal.App.5th 158, 165; Espejo v. Southern California Permanente Medical Group ( 2016) 246 Cal.App.4th 1047, 1060.) , Moving Defendant provided credible evidence that Plaintiff was the only person able to access his login credentials to complete the Agreement training and did so. (Williams Decl. ¶¶ 5, 6, 10, 13, 17, Exhibit 2.

The court found that: In the face of Ruiz's failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, “the act of” Ruiz. (Civ. Code, § 1633.9, subd. (a).)

The court finds the operative complaint sufficiently articulates punitive damages within the product liability and negligence cause of action based on the knowledge of a potential defect with the CVT system, potential use of the vehicle where the failures to place the vehicle occupants in an unintended more dangerous condition in traffic conditions, alleged concealment of the condition, and failure to recall the vehicle.

Plaintiff’s failure to recall the facts to answer deposition questions, alone, is insufficient to satisfy Defendants’ burden. Plaintiff’s lack of knowledge regarding the MSDS is also insufficient. Defendants do not explain how this precludes Plaintiff from establishing causation. There is no evidence that a MSDS on the galvanizing compound even existed or contained adequate warnings, so Plaintiff’s ignorance of the MSDS is unsurprising and not dispositive of anything.

True, Plaintiffs failure to recall when he completed or submitted the forms is relevant to attack Plaintiffs credibility, but the screenshots are nonetheless corroborative. Moreover, Defendants had the opportunity to present evidence from their own records that Plaintiff did not apply to a job site in Los Angeles. No such evidence, by way of Defendants affidavits, was submitted. Next, Defendant argues venue is not proper in Los Angeles as a matter of law.

Plaintiffs have alleged sufficient ultimate facts that when taken as true for the purposes of this motion would constitute despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others related to known welding defects/failures, failure to inspect the product for safety prior selling the product or distributing the product to retailers, and failure to recall the product or warn of welding failures on the Seymour Post Pounders that defendant knew

The study may be relevant to notice and knowledge and failure to recall a defective product, even if it was issued after the last date of exposure. The motion is denied without prejudice to objections at trial and subject to the redaction of references to Hennesy being insured. Hennessys Motion to Exclude 1978 Survey Hennessy moves to exclude a 1978 insurance industry survey because an insurance company did the survey and it is prejudicial and cumulative.

The court concluded that in the face of Ruiz's failure to recall electronically signing the 2011 agreement, the fact the 2011 agreement had an electronic signature on it in the name of Ruiz, and a date and time stamp for the signature, was insufficient to support a finding that the electronic signature was, in fact, the act of Ruiz.
