Consumers are suing PepsiCo, alleging that the company made misleading claims about one or more of its food or beverage products. The plaintiffs contend that PepsiCo's marketing, labeling, or advertising led ordinary shoppers to believe something about the product that was not accurate, causing them to pay money they would not have spent had they known the truth. The lawsuit is filed as a class action, meaning the named plaintiff seeks to represent a broader group of consumers who purchased the same or similar products and were allegedly deceived in the same way. The case is being heard in federal court based on diversity of citizenship between the parties, and the plaintiffs are seeking damages and other relief on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated buyers.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
