Kehm's family sued Procter & Gamble, and last week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they won a jury award of $300,000. The only other Rely litigation to reach trial produced a baffling jury verdict March 19 in Denver: the company was found negligent, but the victim, who survived, won no money for her illness or her claims of psychological damage.
