Benjamin Moore Natura paint is turning out to be not so “natura” according to this class action lawsuit under the jurisdiction of the United States District Court Of New Jersey.  Benjamin Moore Natura paint claims that  it is “a great choice for those concerned about indoor air quality” because it is odorless and is quick trying (dries to the touch in 30 minutes).  This BM paint product is sold with a hefty price tag because of the advertising claims.  Unfortunately according to the Benjamin Moore Natura Paint class action lawsuit this paint did anything but dry fast and was not odorless at all.  The federal suit claims that the paint smelled very bad and “fails to dry in 30 minutes as promised and remains wet and sticky for months”.   The class claims that they would of never purchased this premium painting product if they would of known that Benjamin Moore Natura Paint did not deliver on it’s advertiosing promise. 

 Defendant Benjamin Moore & Co. is a New Jersey corporation with its principal place of business in Montvale, New Jersey.  The corporate office can be reached by mail at 101 Paragon Dr., Montvale, NJ 07645.  The Defendant distributes and sells  interior and exterior house paints, primers and wood stains, and other painting related products in New Jersey, California and throughout the United States.  The product packaging of the Natura paint states “Virtually No Odor”,  “Breathe Easy”, “Dries to the touch: 30 minutes. Recoat after 1-2 hours” when this was obviously not the case according to the lawsuit.  Benjamin Moore may be in a bit of trouble here.  A complete copy of the Benjamin Moore Natura Paint Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.

The Law Office of Ronald A. Marron and David L Romero will be handling the Phillips Colon Health Probiotic Supplement Lawsuit and the United States District Court Southern District of California will have jurisdiction.  The lawsuit revolves around claims that Bayer Health Care is selling the Phillips Colon health probiotic ssupplement at a premium price when the product does not live up to its advertisement.  Bayer states the this product is better than other similar products because it uses supplements that contain a combination of strains of “pro-biotic” bacteria that are unique to its products.  They also claim that the product ion question supports digestive benefits and boost a customers immune system.  The problem for Bayer is that more than one studyexamining the health benefits of probiotics at the concentrations in the products flatly contradict Bayer’s claims.  The studies conducted state that it is not proven that Bayer’s strains of probiotic bacteria deliver the unique health benefits claimed in its advertising campaign.  The claimants are seeking relief for violations of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law.  A complete copy of the Phillips Colon Health Probiotic Supplement Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.

The Oscar Meyer Fat-Free Deli Meat lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court Middle District Of Florida Tampa Division and is entitled Kuenzig v. Kraft Foods, Inc.,.  This federal class action lawsuit against Kraft Foods and Hormel Foods claims that the statement that the Oscar Meyer deli meats were 95% to 98% fat-free is false.  According to the lawsuit the defendants used a clever psychological technique to trick customers to trick customers into believing the meats were over 95% fat free. 

The product is actually thought to contain 10 times the amount of fat as advertised!  The deception method has to do with color fonts and sizes.  An example provided in the notice was Oscar Mayer Honey Ham proclaims it is “98% Fat Free · 50 calories per serving,” without further explanation. By juxtaposing the Percentage-Fat-Free claim directly beside, and often linked by a dot and in the same font as the calorie statement, Kraft is strongly suggesting to shoppers that ninety eight percent of those fifty calories are fat free and that only one or two calories, at most,come from fat.  That is a pretty low trick to play on loyal customers of Oscar Meyer Fat-Free Deli Meats.  If you purchased the deli meats in question between April 2006 and the present you may be a class member of the Fat-Free Deli Meat Class Action Lawsuit.  Claimants would not have bought the deli meat if the full amount of fat was displayed on the product in a non deceptive method. 

The class members go on to say “Without exception, people who have earned medical degrees, PhDs, JDs, master’s degrees, and people with decades of real-world experience, including financiers, developers and executives, all have been deceived by [the defendants’] labels,”.  The entire copy of the Oscar Meyer Fat-Free Deli Meat Class complaint can be found here.  The counsel in charge is:
