January 2018: Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint similarly alleging that the company falsely markets iced tea products as “100% natural” and made “with all natural ingredients” when, according to the complaint, many flavors of the teas contain an unnatural, artificial coloring ingredient. (Martin et al v. Tradewinds Beverage Company, Case No. 16-cv-9249, C. D. CA.)

May 2017: This case was administratively closed because it was consolidated with another case against Tradewinds Beverage Company. (Martin v. Tradewinds Beverage Company, Case No. 16-cv-9249, C. D. CA.) Later in May, a consolidated complaint was filed.
