Arizona Arnold Palmer Lite Half & Half Ice Tea Lemonade
Allegations: Misleadingly marketing products as “Lite” when sugar is the second most predominant ingredient and they are not low in calories
In October 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Arizona Beverages USA for allegedly misleadingly marketing Arnold Palmer iced tea and lemonade beverages as “Lite” to make consumers think the drinks have fewer calories than other similar beverages when, according to plaintiffs, the Arnold Palmer drinks do not have at least one-third fewer calories than similar beverages, as required by federal regulations when making “Lite” claims. (Prater et al v. Arizona Beverages USA LLC, Case No. 20-cv-9108, S.D.N.Y.)
