For many food and beverage companies doing business in California, the receipt of a demand letter or filing of a class action lawsuit alleging false advertising claims under the state’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), Unfair Competition Law (UCL), and/or False Advertising Law (FAL) is an all too familiar occurrence. In federal court, pleadings challenges often present a first line of defense to meritless false advertising claims. The Ninth Circuit’s recent decision in McGinity v. The Procter & Gamble Company marks a distinct change in the way these challenges may be evaluated by district courts going forward.
Join Sheppard Mullin for a discussion of:
- Recent developments in the Ninth Circuit relating to false advertising class action cases brought under California’s consumer protection statutes
- The impact of these recent developments on district court decisions at the pleadings stage
- Related litigation strategies and lessons learned for companies marketing packaged products to consumers in California
