In July 2014, a federal judge dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Kind, LLC. The complaint, which was originally filed in 2013, alleged that Kind misleadingly marketed products – including Vanilla Blueberry Clusters with Flax Seeds – as containing “evaporated cane juice” when they actually contain sugar. The judge dismissed the complaint because, among other things, the named plaintiff did not sufficiently allege that she or another reasonable consumer would be deceived by Kind’s representations. The judge dismissed the complaint without prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs may refile. (Ibarrola et. al, v. Kind, LLC, Case No. 13-cv-50377, N.D. IL.).
