(collectively, “Hansen”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (styled Chris Chavez v. Monster Beverage Corporation, Monster Energy Company and Blue Sky Natural Beverage, Co., Class Action Case No. 06-cv-06609-JSW) alleging, among other things, that Hansen included on the side of Blue Sky beverages the words, “CANNED FOR THE BLUE SKY BEVERAGE COMPANY SANTA FE, NM 87501 USA” or “CANNED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF BLUE SKY NATURAL BEVERAGE CO. SANTA FE, NM USA www.blueskysoda.com.” even though during the Class Period, canning authority over the beverages was allegedly exercised from Corona, California (not from Santa Fe, New Mexico) by Hansen Beverage Company (not Blue Sky Beverage Company or Blue Sky Natural Beverage Company), according to the Monster Beverage, Monster Energy & Blue Sky Beverage class action settlement notice.
