A class-action lawsuit has been filed against the Campbell’s Company, accusing it of misleading consumers with false advertising claims about its snack products.
According to the lawsuit filed by plaintiff Rozaliya Ripa, The Campbell’s Company falsely marketed its Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips as containing “No Artificial Colors, Flavors or Preservatives.” Ripa asserts that the chips contain synthetic citric acid, contradicting the company's labeling. She claims she purchased the product multiple times, believing it contained only natural ingredients. According to the complaint, the labeling exploited consumer preferences for natural foods and misled buyers into paying a premium price.
The lawsuit alleges violations of New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350, as well as breach of express warranty. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages exceeding $5 million, injunctive relief, restitution, punitive damages, and attorney fees. The action seeks to represent a nationwide class of consumers who purchased the chips based on the disputed labeling.
The plaintiff is represented by attorney Joshua D. Arisohn of Arisohn LLC. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York under Case No. 1:25-cv-05921.
