I can see how the selling company may be liable (hasn't the president of
the company already resigned?), but I wouldn't recall the LA Board of 
Education (or the boards of education in Arizona, Michigan, etc.) over

spend the money to conduct extensive, wasteful investigations of all
suppliers before buying anything?
