Canisters of Folgers Coffees

In October 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against The Folger Coffee Company for allegedly misrepresenting that canisters of Folgers ground coffee – including Classic Roast, Classic Roast Decaf, ½ Caff, CoffeeHouse Blend, and others – will make up to a specific number of cups of coffee when, according to plaintiffs, the products do not contain enough ground coffee to make the number of cups advertised on the label. For example, plaintiffs claim the 865 gram canisters of Folgers Classic Roast and Folgers Classic Decaf “make[] up to 240” cups of coffee when, according to plaintiffs, these canisters make approximately 170-181 cups of coffee. (Tan et al v. The Folger Coffee Company, Case No. 20-cv-9370, C.D. Cal.)
