Case Number 1:25-cv-00048 Tyndall v. Sprouts et al.

What Does the Complaint Allege?

The complaint alleges Sprouts-branded plates, bowls, cups, straws, and cutlery sold as compostable or PFAS-free contained fluorine or PFAS at levels inconsistent with those representations and California labeling requirements.

What Products Are at Issue?

The allegations concern identified Sprouts disposable tableware products manufactured by EcoSoul, including multiple sizes of plates and bowls, hot and cold cups, straws, and cutlery. Packaging and product formulations can change over time.

What Are PFAS?

PFAS are a broad group of persistent synthetic chemicals. The complaint’s testing and legal conclusions concern the specific products and methods described in that filing; they do not establish a court finding about every Sprouts product.

Can Purchasers Join or File a Claim?

There is no settlement claim process. Any future class definition would depend on a certification ruling or settlement agreement. Keeping receipts and packaging may preserve purchase records, but it does not guarantee eligibility or compensation.
