Man blames Arm & Hammer Baking Soda for jail sentence

A Virginia prisoner has filed a $425 million lawsuit against the maker of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, claiming the company should have warned him that using its product to manufacture crack cocaine could land him in jail.

The man’s lawsuit alleges that Arm & Hammer knows that its product is one of the main ingredients in crack, that the company profits indirectly from the crack trade, and that it should therefore warn people that they could go to prison.

Although Arm & Hammer does put warnings on its box about people who are on a sodium-restricted diet, the man claims the FDA should also require it to state: “The use of this product with illegal drugs is punishable by law.”
