MCCORMICK v. THE CAMPBELL'S COMPANY

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Campbell's, the well-known food company, claiming that the company misled buyers about one or more of its food or beverage products. The plaintiffs allege that Campbell's made false or deceptive representations on its product packaging or in its marketing materials, causing consumers to purchase items they would not have bought, or to pay more than they otherwise would have, had they known the truth. The lawsuit seeks to represent a class of similarly situated consumers who purchased the affected Campbell's products during a defined period of time. The plaintiffs are pursuing claims under consumer protection and contract-related laws, seeking compensation and potentially changes to how Campbell's markets or labels its products going forward.
