Texas Pete Hot Sauce
Texas Pete is not the first food or drink to have its origin marketing challenged in court.
In November 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the menus for the restaurants in its hotels fail to adequately disclose that the restaurants add an automatic gratuity or service charge to a customer’s check, in violation of Florida law. (Fox et al v. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., Case No. 17-cv-24284, S. D. FL.)
