Pence v. Thermos, L.L.C.

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Thermos, the well-known maker of insulated bottles, mugs, and food containers, alleging that the company made misleading claims about its products. The plaintiffs contend that Thermos advertised performance features — such as how long its containers keep beverages hot or cold — that the products do not actually deliver under normal, real-world conditions. Buyers say they relied on these representations when deciding to purchase Thermos products and paid more than they would have had they known the true performance capabilities. The proposed class would include consumers across the United States who purchased qualifying Thermos products within a certain time period, seeking compensation for the premium price they paid based on what they allege were inaccurate or exaggerated product claims.
