Target sued over coffee creamer that allegedly contains fewer servings than advertised

Target class action lawsuit overview:

• Who: Plaintiff Astorria Sassano filed a class action lawsuit against Target Corp.
• Why: Sassano claims Target misrepresented the number of servings in its Market Pantry Original Coffee Creamer powder.
• Where: The Target class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.

A new class action lawsuit claims that Target misrepresented the number of servings in its Market Pantry Original Coffee Creamer powder.

Plaintiff Astorria Sassano alleges the label on the product states that one teaspoon of the coffee creamer is equivalent to 2 grams, with a serving size of one teaspoon, and that a 35.3-ounce container contains about 500 servings.

Sassano argues these statements are false and misleading, as independent laboratory testing allegedly found the product was short at least 13.31% of the promised one-teaspoon servings and that the stated equivalency of one teaspoon to 2 grams was inaccurate.

The class action lawsuit claims Target violated New York’s consumer protection laws and breached express warranties with its false advertising.

Class action alleges Target coffee creamer label violates FDA regulations

Sassano says Target’s coffee creamer label does not comply with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, which require that serving size and number of servings be accurately represented on food labels.

The plaintiff claims she purchased the Market Pantry Original Coffee Creamer from a Target store in New York in October 2023 and relied on the label’s serving size and number of servings when making her purchase.

Sassano argues she suffered financial injury as a result of the alleged misrepresentations, as she received fewer servings than she paid for. The class action lawsuit alleges Target’s actions were part of a common scheme to deceive consumers about the number of servings in its coffee creamer product.

The lawsuit cites similar allegations in previous cases against other coffee creamer brands, including a lawsuit against Target’s Coffee Mate brand that was settled after third-party testing found a significant shortage of servings.

Sassano claims Target violated New York’s consumer protection laws and breached express warranties. She is demanding a jury trial and requesting damages for herself and all class members.

Currently, Target is facing another lawsuit claiming the company falsely markets its Good and Gather tuna products as being sustainably caught.
