The maker of King s Hawaiian rolls has been hit with a class action lawsuit claiming that fraudulent marketing leads consumers to wrongly believe the product is made in Hawaii.
Robert Galinsky, a resident of Yonkers, New York, filed the lawsuit after he purchased a package of King s Hawaiian rolls and realized there was misleading information about where the product is made, according to Top Class Actions, a company that reports on consumer class action lawsuits.
The lawsuit states that Hilo, Hawaii, can be seen on the front and center of the package, leading buyers to believe that the rolls are made on that part of the island. In reality, the sweet bread rolls are made in Torrance, California, which is listed in smaller font on the back of the package.
