Woman sues Kellogg’s, says strawberry Pop-Tarts don’t have enough berries

Now, this seems berry ridiculous.

A new lawsuit is claiming that the strawberry filling in Pop-Tarts — the sugary breakfast pastry from Kellogg’s — apparently has very few actual berries.

The food corporation is being sued in a new class-action suit, according to TMZ, over claims that they’re misleading buyers about what’s in the pastry.

Elizabeth Russett, a woman from New York, is leading the charge against the company, TMZ reported, and alleged that the fruit filling in the Whole Grain Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries is mostly comprised of other fruits.

The suit claims that the sweet filling of the breakfast item is filled with pears and apples more so than strawberries. Russett alleged in the suit that it’s not enough to provide the berry’s nutritional benefit and to elicit a strawberry taste.

Russett is urging Pop-Tarts to adopt more accurate labeling and claims the damages exceed $5 million, per TMZ.

It’s called “Strawberry Pop-Tarts” not “Strawberries Pop-Tarts”. What’s she complaining about.

Also, Lowes was sued because they were selling 1x4’s, 1x6s, that were actually 3/4” x 3 1/2”, 3/4” x 5 1//2” (the nominal size of lumber).

The plaintiff actually won in court because of false advertising.
So, now when you go into Lowes, Home Depot or almost any major retailer of lumber you will see a sign that says:

1x4
(actual size 3/4 x 3/12”)

Who gives a crap? They taste great, especially hot out of the toaster on a cold morning.

So put jelly on them. Kellogg’s may even spring for a case of jam if she asks them nicely enough.

How in the world does one find an attorney to handle such a lawsuit?

How in the world does one choose among the thousands of law firms dying for the chance to lead a class action lawsuit where the law firm gets millions, and each individual in the class action ends up with pennies each?
