How a TINA.org Reader Tip Led to a Record Penalty for False Made in USA Claims
FTC says civil penalty against Williams-Sonoma is “the largest ever in a Made in USA case.”
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Amplify Snack Brands for allegedly misleadingly listing evaporated cane juice as an ingredient in Paqui Tortilla Chips – including the Roasted Jalapeño and Grilled Habanero flavors – when the ingredient is actually sugar. The lawsuit was originally filed in state court in January 2017 and transferred to federal court in March 2017. (Morrison et al v. Amplify Snack Brands, Inc., Case No. 17-cv-816, E. D. MO.)
