Yoo-hoo Chocolate Drink Customers File Class Action Lawsuit Complaint Against Mott’s LLP and Dr. Pepper Snapple OverPartially Hydrogenated Oil.
A class action lawsuit complaint was filed against Mott’s LLP and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (collectively “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (captioned Timothy Dahl v. Mott’s LLP and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group) alleging that Mott’s and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group misled consumers about the nutritional and health qualities of the chocolate drink Yoo-hoo, according to class action lawsuit news reports.
The Mott’s LLP and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Yoo-hoo class action lawsuit complaint reportedly alleges that defendants stated on packaging and other marketing that Yoo-hoo contained “Good Sources of Vitamins and Minerals” “7 Vitamins & Minerals” “No Preservatives” “99% Fat Free” “99% Caffeine Free” and other health benefits, but failed to disclose that Yoo-hoo contains partially hydrogenated oil, an artificial, man-made substance allegedly known to cause a number of health problems such as coronary disease, heart attacks and death.
The Mott’s and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Yoo-hoo class action lawsuit complaint is reportedly brought on behalf of a putative class of all persons in the United States who purchased Yoo-hoo and other similar products from defendants between June 22, 2004 to the present (the “class period”) and who are not otherwise excluded from the proposed class action definition.
