No injuries? Do you really that people's children belong to the government? You would want to have no authority over your children?

The problem here is that the cause of action--the breast cancer risk--has not actually made itself manifest.

Future uses of this precedent include enviroweenies saying that, although they HAVEN'T developed cancer from automobile exhaust, there's circumstantial evidence that they MIGHT develop cancer, and thus we need to outlaw all but zero emissions vehicles.

The argument re: parental authority over minor children is a different thing entirely that would be a slam-dunk in a sane society.
