The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit returned a mixed decision for a Connecticut woman hoping to file a putative class action suit against Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies Inc. for alleged deceptive labeling: On the one hand, the court found the plaintiff had standing to file a class action lawsuit. But on the other, it vacated a class that a lower court had already certified.

In its 3-0 ruling Tuesday, the Second Circuit said plaintiff Heidi Langan had standing to bring a class action against the New Jersey-based multinational company. But it also found U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Meyer of the District of Connecticut had not properly analyzed variations in state law governing potential class members when he granted certification. The Second Circuit then remanded the case to Meyer for further proceedings.
