Victoria Klein of Wichita Falls was just a baby when she was given 16 injections of a vitamin E supplement later to be found toxic. That was 20 years ago. On May 11, the case of Klein and Ashley Swadley, a Dallas newborn two decades ago, was granted class action status, allowing thousands nationwide to sue the supplement's creator and manufacturer. U.S. District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer granted class action status to a civil lawsuit against the Maryland Heights, Mo., E-Ferol creator, O'Neal, Jones & Feldman Pharmaceuticals, and the manufacturer, Carter-Glogau Laboratories of Glendale, Ariz.
