Title: Judge tosses $5 million lawsuit over microwavable mac and cheese
Post by: Wingnut on August 01, 2023, 11:09:40 am
Finally some sanity.  It would be better had the suit filer been made to pay Krafts legal fees.

HIALEAH, Fla. (WFLA) — A federal judge in Florida tossed a multi-million dollar lawsuit involving the Kraft Heinz Food Company’s microwavable mac and cheese.

The $5 million lawsuit claimed the company misled the public about the time it takes to prepare Velveeta microwavable mac and cheese cups.


According to court records, a West Palm Beach-based law firm filed the lawsuit on behalf of a Hialeah woman on Nov. 18.

The lawsuit alleged that the Kraft Heinz Food Company violated federal law by saying the mac and cheese cups take 3½ minutes to prepare, arguing that the time limit does not include the time it takes to remove the lid, add water and stir in the cheese sauce.

A Miami district judge tossed the lawsuit.

Good that it was dismissed.  The lawyer should be sanctioned for bringing a frivolous lawsuit.

Damn shame he couldn't have ordered everyone at that lawfirm that was involved in this suit,plus the plantiffs,to be backed against a wall and  shot.

Or at a minimum,have them sterilized to make sure they don't breed more fools.

@Kamaji

Is that a legal word for "shot"?
