SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – Now that it has been established a lawsuit over the empty space in movie theater candy should be heard in federal court, Tootsie Roll Industries is asking a judge to toss the case.
The company on March 10 filed its motion to dismiss the lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, about a month after an appeals court refused to hear an appeal arguing it belonged in state court.
The lawsuit from the Clarkson Law Firm alleges there is too much air in boxes of Sugar Babies and Junior Mints – even though the boxes declare the weight of the food inside.
