- Excerpt from Court Dismisses Most of plaintiff’s Claims Based on Regulatory Violations:

Victor v. R.C. Bigelow, Inc., No. 13cv2976 (N.D. Cal.): In a putative class action alleging claims under California’s CLRA, FAL, and UCL that the defendant’s tea products are misbranded and misleading because they make improper health claims that they “deliver[] healthful antioxidants,” Judge Orrick granted in part and denied in part the defendant’s motion to dismiss. The court had previously granted in part a motion to dismiss and found that the amended complaint failed to address the frailties in the previous version.
