A class action lawsuit says the Yeti Rambler Colster doesn’t fit cans and bottles despite advertising that it will fit “like a glove—a glove with double-wall vacuum insulation.”
Plaintiffs Lance Peroutka, Nikki Pribow and Otis Fung claim that they purchased Yeti Rambler Colsters for personal use, in part choosing the product because of its “No Sweat Design keeps your hands dry while your drink stays cold.”
However, the Yeti Rambler Colster is too big to fit most cans and bottles and as a result, cannot vacuum seal to the product and cannot keep them “securely in place,” the Yeti Coolers class action states.
The customers claim that they were financially injured from their purchase of the product because had they known that the product would not perform as advertised, they would not have purchased it or would not have paid as much as they had for it.
The Yeti Rambler Colster class action alleges that the product the plaintiffs received “was worth less than the product for which they paid.”
They aim to hold Yeti Coolers, the maker of the Yeti Rambler Colsters accountable for their injury. They seek damages on behalf of themselves and all similarly affected consumers.
The Yeti Coolers class action claims that the company either negligently or intentionally misrepresented their product to consumers, and unjustly gained profits from the sale of a defective and nonfunctional product.
Allegedly, Yeti Coolers knew that many people who enjoy the outdoors seek out drink holders that can keep their drinks cold and are convenient to use.
The customers claim that people interested in the outdoors are “willingly paid a premium for products associated with the active outdoor lifestyle.”
The Yeti Coolers false advertising class action lawsuit says that reasonable consumers who are making a purchasing decision would value Yeti Coolers’ products for important reasons including the “belief that they are not only safe, but a drastic improvement over alternative products that are not designed for the outdoors.”
Peroutka, Pribow, and Fung argue that the main feature of the product is the “Load-and-Lock Gasket” vacuum sealing technology designed to keep drinks cold.
However, the Yeti Coolers class action says this feature is largely useless because the product is too big to be used on most cans and bottles, and therefore cannot seal and keep them cold as advertised.
In support of the consumers’ claim that the Yeti Rambler Colsters are too big for use on most standard cans and bottles, the customers cite the sizes of many common beer types, arguing that the Yeti Rambler Colsters are too big to hold them.
Additionally, the customers claim that the improper size of the product causes cans and bottles to drop out of the colster regularly, possibly causing a spill, exposing users to broken glass, and generally causing an inconvenience that makes the product worthless.
Peroutka, Pribow and Fung are represented by Jacob E. Miota of Miota Law LLC and by Michael C. Lueder of Hansen Reynolds LLC.
The Yeti Rambler Colsters False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit is Lance Peroutka, et al. v. Yeti Coolers LLC, Case No. 1:18-cv-06827, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
