August 2016: A federal judge granted final approval of a settlement in which PepsiCo agreed to take steps to ensure products comply with the law and test products according to an agreed protocol. This settlement does not provide consumers with any monetary relief but does allow them to bring separate claims for monetary damages.

January 2014: A class-action lawsuit was filed against PepsiCo (and amended in August 2014) for allegedly failing to warn consumers that beverages – including Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Pepsi One – contain more of a harmful and carcinogenic chemical (4-MeI) than California law allows. (Sciortino et al v. PepsiCo, Inc., Case No. 14-cv-478, N. D. CA.)
