I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Another Stupid Lawsuit

by @ 12:35 pm on November 30, 2006. Filed under Legal

I may be a lawyer, but this clearly strikes me as a waste of time and judicial resources:

LOS ANGELES — Wholly guacamole?

That’s the issue in a fraud lawsuit filed Wednesday against Kraft Foods, Inc., by a Los Angeles woman who claims the company’s avocado dip doesn’t qualify as guacamole.

“It just didn’t taste avocadoey,” said Brenda Lifsey, who used Kraft Dips Guacamole in a three-layer dip last year. “I looked at the ingredients and found there was almost no avocado in it.”

She is seeking unspecified damages and a Superior Court order barring Kraft from calling its dip guacamole. Her suit seeks class-action status.

So let’s see, she read the ingredient label and still bought the product, and now wants to sue ?

    Not unlike European rules regarding labeling as “champagne” or “chateau” (i.e., stupid).
