Talbot v. The Lagunitas Brewing Company

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Lagunitas Brewing Company, a well-known craft beer maker, alleging that the company misled buyers about the nature or characteristics of its products. The plaintiffs claim that Lagunitas made false or deceptive representations on its product labels or in its marketing materials, causing consumers to purchase products 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 consumers who purchased the affected Lagunitas products during a defined time period. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for their financial losses as well as changes to how the company advertises and labels its products going forward.
