| WK Kellogg Cosource ↗ filed by Gucovschi Law Firm, PLLC · No. 2:26-cv-09438 · 28:1332 Diversity-Fraud · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $90M–$586M ▾False advertising claims against national food companies often survive early motions when deceptive labeling is plausibly pled, but comparables here are largely unrelated (Guthrie affirmed denial of class cert on similar UCL claims; Citizens of Humanity shows underlying 'Made in USA' labeling suits can fail on probable cause). Comparable settlements $90M–$586M median $117.50M · n=10 Western Union $586M · Toyota Industries $436M · Credit Glory $200M Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · VPX, Inc. $293M Key precedent: Guthrie v. Transamerica - shows courts scrutinize individualized reliance/communications in UCL false-advertising class claims, a likely defense theme here. Main risk: Class certification denial on individualized reliance/exposure grounds, as in Guthrie v. Transamerica Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $20M–$120M No directly on-point food false-advertising rulings or defendant-specific history; estimate relies on analogized settlement data and general consumer-class norms. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 9 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | C.D.
