According to reports, a proposed settlement has been reached in a Dannon Activia® class action lawsuit regarding misleading health claims of the popular DanActive® and Activia® branded products. The class action lawsuit argues the food manufacturer made false claims about the benefits of these products.
According to the class action lawsuit, Dannon made false claims that Activia® yogurt and DanActive® yogurt have been “clinically proven” to help people’s digestive system. Legal professionals argue that unless a clinical study has been conducted, it is misleading to advertise a product in such a way.
Dannon denies the allegations of misleading labeling of its products, but according to reports, the company settled to dodge what could be a long and drawn out litigation process.
People who believe they were mislead by Dannon’s claims regarding the products involved in the class action lawsuit are being asked to submit their claims before Oct. 1, 2010. Submissions are being accepted electronically and via snail mail. The settlement hearing is scheduled for June 23, 2010.
