A class action filed in Federal Court in California against a national retailer alleged its propriety brand of fruit juice was fraudulently marketed because it was labeled “100% juice,” while being fortified with ascorbic acid. The complaint alleged the amount in controversy exceeded $5,000,000. The Food Lawyers were retained to defend the case and filed a motion to dismiss on numerous grounds. The plaintiff settled the case for $15,000 (an amount less than their costs) before the motion could be heard.
