CATrends: Empty Space in Consumer Goods
Lawsuits aren’t giving any slack when it comes to underfilled packages.
Skinny Crisps Gourmet Crackers
In June 2014, a federal judge granted a motion to dismiss a class-action lawsuit against Skinny Crisps. The complaint, which was originally filed in 2014, claims that the company mislabels products – including various flavors of Skinny Crisps Low Carb and Gluten Free Gourmet Crackers – as containing “organic dehydrated cane juice” when they actually contain sugar. According to the joint motion to dismiss, the parties settled the named plaintiff’s individual claims in March 2014. We do not know the terms of the settlement. (Agazanof et al v. Skinny Crisps, Inc., Case No. 14-cv-01125, C. D. CA.).
