However, after his law firm filed a class-action lawsuit a month ago in federal court in Detroit, attorney Mark Rossman removed himself as the lead plaintiff in the case. He was replaced by a 52-year-old Saginaw woman, Leslie McQuillan.

P&G is fighting the lawsuit and says 99.9% of users have not complained of brown stains.
