Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE’ Act Gets Pushback in Court
Andrew Ross Sorkin, DealBook from The New York Times
In May 2014, a federal judge dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Supreme Protein, LLC because the parties agreed to dismiss the lawsuit. The complaint, which was originally filed in 2013, alleged that the product labels falsely represent the concentrations of saturated fat and cholesterol contained in the Caramel Nut Chocolate Protein Bar because it actually contains 25% more saturated fat and over two-and-a-half times more cholesterol than stated on the label. The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning that plaintiffs cannot refile. We were unable to determine why the parties agreed to dismiss the case. (Hoffman et al v. Supreme Protein, LLC, Case No. 13-cv-06913, D. NJ.).
