A federal class action lawsuit claims Tetley USA, Inc. falsely advertises the health benefits of its tea products, specifically that they are an “excellent” or “natural” source of antioxidants.
According to the Tetley Tea class action lawsuit, “Tetley utilizes improper antioxidant, nutrient content, and health claims that have been expressly condemned by the FDA in numerous enforcement actions and warning letters” to other companies that made similar antioxidant claims, such as Unilever’s Lipton Tea.
Claims that a tea or food product is “an excellent source of natural antioxidants” or a “natural source of antioxidants,” as Tetley Tea products do, have been repeatedly targeted by the FDA as unlawful, the class action lawsuit says.
The Tetley Tea class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all California consumers who purchased Tetley Tea’s Classic Blend Black Tea, British Blend Black Tea, Pure Green Tea, Iced Tea Blend Tea, and/or Iced Tea Mix Tea within the last four years.
It is seeking damages, restitution and more for alleged claims of unlawful, unfair and fraudulent business acts and practices; misleading and deceptive advertising; untrue advertising; and violation of the Magnuson-Moss Act and Beverly-Song Act.
