Class Action against Dannon in the United States
Thursday, February 28, 2008
A Los Angeles law firm has filed a class action with the United States District Court in California against the Dannon Company. In a press release the firm states:
An enormously successful marketing campaign promoting the supposed health benefits of "probiotic" yogurt products such as Activia and DanActive helped The Dannon Company, Inc. ("Dannon" or the "Company") sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of yogurt in recent years. However, a class action filed today in California revealed that while spending more than $100 million to falsely claim that Activia and DanActive have "clinically" and "scientifically" "proven" health benefits not available in other yogurts, Dannon's own studies flatly disproved the Company's deceptive boasts.
The class action also alleges that because of the deceptive advertising scheme Dannon has been able to charge a 30% premium on the product.
The official Activia website makes no mention of the class action.
