Class Action Against Trader Joe’s Dismissed

Our client supplies truffle flavored olive oil to Trader Joe’s, who was sued in a federal court class action regarding the accuracy of Trader Joe’s label. The litigation raged between Trader Joe’s attorneys and plaintiff’s lawyers for some months with various expensive pre-trial motions being made by both sides. Finally, our client was served as a defendant and came time for us to get involved. Instead of filing an answer to the complaint, we filed a motion to dismiss the entire litigation. The federal judge agreed with us and the case was dismissed as to all parties and the litigation ended. Plaintiff filed an appeal, but abandoned it. Case over. Tyoka Brumfield v. Trader Joe’s Company, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-03239.
