Pitre v. Chobani, LLC

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Chobani, the popular yogurt maker, alleging that the company deceived buyers about the nature or qualities of its products. The plaintiffs claim that Chobani made misleading representations on its product packaging or in its marketing materials that caused consumers to purchase items they would not have otherwise bought, or to pay more than they would have paid had they known the truth. The lawsuit seeks to represent a class of consumers who purchased the affected Chobani products, likely within a specific timeframe and geographic area. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and other relief on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated consumers who were allegedly misled by the company's product claims.
