Subscriptions to Freshly
A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against Freshly, Inc. (a company that sells subscriptions for deliveries of meals) in state court in February 2017. According to the complaint, the company fails to clearly present the terms of its automatic renewal and continuous service offers resulting in charging consumers without their consent. After the lawsuit was transferred to federal court in April 2017, this action was voluntarily dismissed When a complaint is dismissed without prejudice, an amended version of the complaint can be refiled.. The reasons for the dismissal have not been disclosed. (Johnson et al v. Freshly, Inc. and Does 1-10, Case No. 17-cv-773, E. D. CA.)
