Olathe ? Two families are suing Feist Publications Inc. after their phone numbers were incorrectly listed under the category “Abortion Provider.”

Errors in the Kansas City-area directory that Feist began distributing in June also include the listing of a legal consultant as a pet groomer.

The company was reviewing the work of an employee assigned the task of checking the accuracy of listings obtained from local telephone service providers, said Roger Carvalho, marketing director for Feist Publications in Wichita.

Martha Black, of Prairie Village, and her son, Carl Black, filed the lawsuit Thursday in Johnson County District Court.

In the Feist directory, the name of Martha Black’s deceased husband, who was a doctor, is listed with the address where she and her son now live, according to the lawsuit.

Her husband, Don A. Black, died in 1996, and never provided abortion services, according to his son.

Carl Black also was listed wrongly. A legal consultant and child advocate, his number was included under the “Pet Grooming” category.

“Said statement is false and was false when made because plaintiff Carl Black is not and never has done business as a pet groomer or any related business,” according to the lawsuit.

The suit was amended Friday to include another couple whose number was listed in the abortion provider category, attorney Dan Ross said.

And attorneys said they would seek a class-action suit if more problems were discovered.
