A California federal judge has fired a warning shot at a cadre of plaintiffs lawyers, cautioning them not to regard their proposed class action against The Coca Cola Company as a way to pile up legal fees.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White of the Northern District of California issued the blunt admonishment to the plaintiffs’ attorneys in Engurasoff v. Coca Cola, one of six cases preliminarily encompassed in proposed multidistrict litigation alleging Coca Cola falsely claims its iconic product does not contain added preservatives and artificial flavors.
