CHICAGO (Legal Newsline) – A serial plaintiff must have stolen her idea to file a lawsuit over TGI Friday’s-brand mozzarella stick snacks from someone else, the company argues in a recent motion to dismiss.
TGIF and Inventure Foods call out plaintiff Amy Joseph’s litigious past in their April 16 motion as they fight claims they tricked customers into buying a product labeled as mozzarella but built on cheddar cheese.
In the past 10 years, Joseph has filed at least eight class actions in Illinois state and federal courts. In her last three she has been represented by Zimmerman Law Offices of Chicago, which also sued over the TGIF-brand potato skin snacks.
