NOTICE OF PENDING CLASS ACTION
This is a Court ordered Notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer. You are not being sued. The purpose of this Notice is to inform you the Court certified this case as a class action and to notify you of your options. This case is pending in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2022-01298406-CU-BT-CXC. This notice is not an expression by the Court of any opinion on the merits of the claims or defenses in this case.
WHAT THIS LAWSUIT IS ABOUT: This case claims that certain boxes of Welch’s® Fruit Snacks contain unlawful slack-fill, meaning the boxes have unnecessary empty space and should have included more fruit snacks. Welch and PIM Brands deny these allegations. The Court has not yet decided who is correct.
The Court has ordered that the case will proceed as a class action for two classes of Welch’s® Fruit Snack purchasers. One class includes people who purchased the Fruit Snacks at Costco and the other class includes people who purchased certain Fruit Snacks at a retail store, such as a grocery or convenience store. A person can be in both classes.
The Costco Class. The Costco Class consists of all persons who made retail purchases from Costco in the State of California, between June 30, 2016 and February 7, 2025, of Welch’s ® Fruit Snacks in a box containing either 80 or 90 pouches of Fruit Snacks.
The Retail Class. The Retail Class consists of all persons who made retail purchases in the State of California, between June 30, 2016 and February 7, 2025, of the following Welch’s® Fruit Snack Products: Welch’s® Fruit Snacks, Welch’s® Reduced Sugar Fruit Snacks, or Welch’s® Fruit ‘n Yogurt™ Snacks, sold in an 8, 18, or 85 count box or certain 10, 22, and 26 count boxes. The precise products are identified on the website for this notice: HERE.
Excluded from both classes are the officers, directors, or employees of each Defendant; any entity in which any Defendant has a controlling interest; and any affiliate, legal representative, heir or assign of any Defendant. Also excluded from the classes are the judge to whom this case is assigned and any member of the judge’s immediate family.
By allowing the classes to proceed as a class action, the Court has not made any determination about the merits of either claim. All class members will be bound by the outcome of the Court’s ultimate ruling on the claims (unless they timely opt out of this case, as described below).
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS LAWSUIT:
Do Nothing: Stay in the lawsuit. Await the outcome. You do not have to do anything to remain in the lawsuit. If the plaintiffs prevail, you will be included in the recovery, if any, the Court determines should be distributed to the class members, but you do give up your right to file a separate lawsuit against Defendants for any of the claims made in this case. You will be bound by any future Court rulings in this case, whether favorable or not. If you remain in the class you may also enter an appearance through your own attorney, but are not required to do so.
Ask to Be Excluded from the Class: Get out of this lawsuit. Keep your rights to file your own case. If you opt out of the case (meaning you state that you do not want to be included in this lawsuit) you will not be bound by the Court rulings in this case, but you will not be included in any recovery distributed to class members. You will be free to pursue your own claims against Defendants if you choose to do so. If you want to exclude yourself from this case go to www.strategicclaims.net/welch and fill out the opt-out form online, or you can print the form and mail it to Welch Litigation, c/o Strategic Claims Services, 600 N Jackson Street, Suite 205, Media, PA 19063.
