Flax USA Flax Milk Class Action Settlement

Portland, OR, October 30, 2014 --(PR.com)-- TopClassActions.com is announcing that Flax USA Inc. has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over claims it deceptively labeled its flax milk products as “All Natural.” If you purchased flax milk sold by Flax USA in the United States between Nov. 5, 2009 and Sept. 22, 2014, you may be eligible to claim up to $32.50 from the Flax USA flax milk class action settlement.

The deadline to file a claim is April 28, 2015. More information about how to file a claim for the Flax USA flax milk class action settlement can be found at tpcl.as/flaxmilksettlement.

*Case Summary*
The flax milk settlement resolves a class action lawsuit (Madenlian v. Flax USA) that claims consumers were misled into purchasing Flax USA flax milk products based on the misleading statement: “All Natural Dairy Free Beverage.”

Plaintiffs allege the statement is misleading because the products contain the following artificial or synthetic ingredients: Tricalcium Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D2, and Vitamin B12. Had they known Flax USA flax milk products contained these allegedly artificial or synthetic ingredients, they would not have purchased the products, the flax milk class action lawsuit claims.

Flax USA denies the allegations and contends that the statements “All Natural Dairy Free Beverage* / *Added Vitamins & Minerals,” read in combination, do no not represent that the added vitamins and minerals are “all natural.” However, the company has agreed to establish a $260,000 class action settlement fund to avoid the uncertainty of going to trial.

The case is Garo Madenlian, et al. v. Flax USA Inc., Case No. SACV13-01748 JVS (JPRx), U.S. District Court, Central District of California

· Flax USA Flax Milk Vanilla

The products must be aseptic (i.e., shelf-stable, non-refrigerated) flax milk sold in 32-oz size cartons.
