Food companies are drawing increasing consumer scrutiny.
One filing was from New Jersey couple Evan Arlington and Stephanie Arlington-Macias who say coffee spilled on Arlington's lap while in the drive-thru. The claim alleges that"as a result thereof, plaintiff Evan Arlington has been severely injured, has suffered and in the future will suffer great pain and mental anguish.
According to Dan Cox, an expert in this field, plaintiffs rarely prevail in these types of spillage cases."Everyday coffee and tea drinkers consume millions of beverages without incident," Cox toldThis isn't the first time a consumer has complained about a disproportionate amount of product compared to packaging, and it won't be the last.
The lawsuit from Leroy Jacobs claimed that the product's box was too big, making it look like more rice was included than there was. The case has since been, who ruled that"a reasonable consumer expects the size of the box to bear only a loose relationship to the amount of cooked product its contents will yield."
The ruling also mentions that accurate serving sizes and labeling did appear on the box and was therefore not misleading.
