On March 21, 2016, Plaintiff filed this Action on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated alleging that Defendant violated California state law by improperly labeling and selling its products as being “Made Proudly in the USA,” or some derivative thereof. Plaintiff does not claim that the Product caused anyone physical injury or harm. Defendant denies any wrongdoing or liability arising out of any of the facts or conduct alleged in the Action and believes that it has valid defenses to the allegations. The Court has not decided that Defendant did anything wrong, and the settlement does not mean Defendant broke the law. Both the Plaintiff and Defendant believe that the settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable and that it is in the best interests of the Settlement Class.
