Gerber Good Start Formula
March 2019: A federal judge granted class certification for the Florida and New York classes but denied class certification for North Carolina and Multistate classes.
February 2017: This case was consolidated with two similar cases (Greene v. Gerber and Manemeit v. Gerber) for discovery and pretrial purposes.
May 2015: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Gerber Products Company for allegedly misleadingly marketing that its Good Start infant formula with whey protein concentrate will reduce an infant’s risk of developing allergies and that it’s the first and only formula that the FDA endorses for such purposes when, according to the plaintiffs, there is no adequate scientific evidence supporting such claims and the FDA did not approve them. (Hasemann et al v. Gerber Products Company, Case No. 15-cv2995, E. D. NY.)
