Nyman v. Sara Lee Frozen Bakery LLC

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Sara Lee Frozen Bakery, claiming the company misled buyers about one or more of its frozen baked goods products. The plaintiffs allege that the labeling or marketing on the product packaging contained false or deceptive information, causing shoppers to purchase items they would not have bought, or to pay more than they otherwise would have, had they known the truth. The lawsuit was originally filed in state court and then moved to federal court by the defendant. The proposed class would include other consumers across the country who purchased the same or similar Sara Lee frozen bakery products during a defined time period, all of whom allegedly suffered financial harm as a result of the company's misleading product representations.
