Beyond Pesticides v. Exxon Mobil Corp.

A non-profit organization filed a lawsuit in D.C. Superior Court alleging that Exxon Mobil Corporation violated the D.C. Consumer Protection Procedures Act by representing “that it engages in cleaner forms of energy at a significant level, when in fact, its core business remains entrenched in the production and delivery of fossil fuels.” The plaintiff asked the court to issue an injunction halting Exxon’s allegedly false marketing and advertising.
