Woman Is Suing Kraft Mac And Cheese Because It Takes Too Long To Make

I apologize for the cliche but ...... only in America. But then it is in Florida. Plenty of nutty judges here who might allow it.

It is in Federal District Court, one Judge, Class action Diversity claim.

8 count complaint.

Count 5:
Negligent Misrepresentation: (par. 90)

Plaintiff reasonably and justifiably relied on these negligent misrepresentations and omissions which served to induce and did deduce her purchase of the product.
--------------------------------------------------
Negligent misrepresentation is similar to the Doctrine of Detrimental Reliance or Fraud in the Inducement.

I guess since the box said 3 minutes to prepare, she bought it. But if the box said 4 minutes, she would not have bought it?? What a pathetic person.
 
Standard for labeling of pre packaged foods part 1


4.4.2 Instructions for use
Instructions for use, like opening method, consumption method, preparation method, method of
reconstitution and other instructions which are helpful for consumers may be declared according to the
requirements of products.

The way I read that is Kraft is following the standards. It says may be declared it doesn't say will be declared.

Still going with cheaper to settle than to litigate. By using a lawyer that gets paid if you get paid, highly likely the lawyer expects Kraft to settle this civil lawsuit out of court thru negotiation
 
She's probably hoping for a "Deep Pockets" payoff.
Sometimes, it's less costly for a big company to pay to settle, than incur legal fees.
 
Another crazy person in the media. The media loves these nut cases. I remember driving through Texas where they seem to have these huge advertising signs along the highway, "Are you Hurt! See Your Lawyer" or something to that extend.

I think that lady should be send to the Ukraine for the winter. With no heat and no electric power, she might forget about how long it takes to cook her Kraft dinner with all those Russian bombs and bullets flying around.
 
That is false advertising. It should say: Cooks in 3-1/2 minutes instead of "ready in 3-1/2 minutes."

Of course, the plaintiff will need to prove that she would have purchased a different product had she know the truth: that it would take another 30 seconds to prepare. :ROFLMAO:

Kraft should settle out of court and offer her a free box of mac and cheese for compensation.

I used to eat store brand mac and cheese when I was a poor teenager and only had 25 cents for dinner. That's what a box cost back in the late '70s, from what I remember. I'm always baffled when I go into a nice restaurant and they offer mac and cheese as one of their main dishes. Who would order that?
 
I got a tiny amount of money once because someone brought a class action lawsuit against Nutella for being not as healthy as they advertised and somehow I was identified as a purchaser (might have gotten a postcard asking if I wanted to be included if they received a judgement).

It was kind of a silly lawsuit because a consumer can simply read the ingredients, but it was totally true that they were running ads that legit made it appear like a healthy thing to eat.
 
Reminds me of the moron who once sued McDonald's years ago because she claimed her hamburger wasn't fully cooked.
