Woman Sues Pirate’s Booty for Making Her Fat
from the shiver-me-timbers dept.
This story in Ananova caught my eye, in part because I just recently got the Pirate’s Booty habit. I was unaware, though, that in January Robert’s American Gourmet Food, makers of the snack, recalled it in order to correct an error in its labelling. Previously the label said each serving contains 2.5 grams of fat; in fact, outside testing has revealed that each serving actually contains 8.5 grams of fat. (Though this bag I’m scarfing from now says 5 grams. Hmm…) Anyway, a New York woman, Meredith Berkman, has now sued the company for $50 million, claiming the incorrect labelling made her gain weight. She refuses to say how much weight, exactly, though presumably that will come out if it actually goes to trial.
