What's This Settlement About?

A $21 Million Class Action Settlement has been reached after a lawsuit was filed against multiple milk manufacturers. The Defendants include:

• Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”),
• Fairlife, LLC (“fairlife”),
• Fair Oaks Farms, LLC (“FOF”),
• Mike McCloskey and Sue McCloskey (“the McCloskeys”), and;
• Select Milk Producers, Inc. (“Select”), relating to Fairlife and FOF Milk Products.

The massive milk class action lawsuit alleged that Fairlife and Coca Cola falsely labeled and marketed dairy products as being humane. The settlement settles allegations that the milk was produced by cows that were not treated humanely. The class action lawsuit argued that because marketing implied that cows were treated ethically, consumers were willing to spend more on milk purchases than they otherwise may have. The settlement fund of $21,000,000 is aimed to provide relief on behalf of consumers as a result of these deceptive practices of labeling and marketing.
