The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the district court confirmed that Aurora’s milk was at all times properly labeled and sold as organic, and that Aurora’s milk has been certified as organic by a USDA-accredited certifying agent since 2004. As such, the only remaining action in this lawsuit, which was originally filed in 2007, concerned marketing claims made by Aurora and its customers. Defendants denied and continue to deny all allegations of wrongdoing and liability.
Plaintiffs have decided to settle the claims against Defendants on behalf of themselves and all members of the nationwide Settlement Class by entering into the Settlement Agreement. Please read the Notice for more background on this case.
所有產品出自同一個公司Aurora，銷售的牌子不一樣，在很多超市都有賣，分別打廠家自己的牌子和多個銷售商的牌子：Costco、Safeway、Target、Walmart、Wild Oats。
地區法庭和上訴法庭都認定產品正確地標識了”Organic“，而且牛奶是經過美國農業部授權的認知機構認證為Organic。原告沒法在Organic上贏，打算在產品的市場營銷方法上繼續打官司。
也就是說到目前為止，並沒有法院認定Organic牛奶有問題，廠家隻是為了省去麻煩才和解的，所以補償才會這麽低，總共才7.5米，估計比繼續打下去的律師費還低。
我倒是認為這是美國律師濫用司法程序的一個典型案例。
