I am having some problems with UL lists. I figured out how to code specific UL classes. The problem is, if the the line item is more than one line, the text floats to the left. Is there a way to align the text with the first line of the <li>? 

Here is my class:

/*Mobile*/
@media (max-width: 380px){
ul.specifications-info {
    list-style-type: none;
    padding-top: 10px;
    font-size: 1.5em;
    padding-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    font-family: Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
    margin-left: 10px;
    text-align: left;
}
}
/*Tablet*/
@media (min-width:381px) and (max-width:949px){
ul.specifications-info {
    list-style-type: none;
    padding-top: 10px;
    font-size: 1.4em;
    padding-left: 10px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    font-family: Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
    text-align: left;
    left: 0px;
    list-style-position: inside;
}
}
 
/*Desktop*/
@media (min-width: 950px){
ul.specifications-info {
    list-style-type: none;
    padding-top: 10px;
    font-size: 1.3em;
    padding-left: 10px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    font-family: Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
    text-align: left;
}
}

Attached is what I'm getting:

    What does your actual code look like as I can't see anything in the css that you posted that would be causing the issue?

    Use CSS list-style-position  (inside or outside).
