Woman Sues Post Cereal Brand For $5 Million, Says Honey-Comb Box Had Too Few Servings

A New York woman has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Post Consumer Brands, claiming her Honey-Comb cereal box contained fewer servings than advertised. Court documents show the plaintiff alleges the family-size box had one serving less than the labeled 13 servings, calling the packaging “false and misleading.” The woman claims she was “deprived of $0.45” after paying $6 for the cereal. Her attorneys state she has “suffered injury” due to the box being “misbranded.” “Plaintiff continues to suffer harm because she cannot rely on the Products’ labeling, including the Representations, for their truth, and thus is unable to determine whether she can purchase the products in the future,” the lawsuit reads. Post Consumer Brands has not publicly responded. A similar class action lawsuit was filed earlier this month involving Fruity Pebbles, another Post brand. (Story URL)
