PITTSBURGH – A settlement has been reached in the case of a California man who filed a class action lawsuit against The Kraft Heinz Company, connected to claims that its Maxwell House coffee products falsely advertise how many cups of coffee they can make.
Randall Sulzer of San Diego first filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on July 31 versus The Kraft Heinz Company of Pittsburgh and John Does 1-10.
Sulzer said after buying Maxwell House coffee, he was unhappy to learn that he could not make as many cups of coffee with the product as the package had advertised, and claims that a number of Maxwell House products mislead customers into thinking that the products contain more coffee than they actually do.
