| Conopco, Inc.source ↗ filed by Gucovschi Law Firm, PLLC · No. 2:26-cv-10397 · 28:1332 Diversity-Fraud · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $190M–$740M ▾None of the comparables directly involve consumer-product false advertising against a CPG defendant, but Guthrie v. Transamerica shows courts denying class cert where individualized reliance issues predominate, and Citizens of Humanity v. Donboli shows 'Made in USA'-style false-ad claims face high scrutiny on the merits. Comparable settlements $190M–$740M median $299.50M · n=10 DiDi Global Inc. $740M · Merck & Co. Inc. a $688M · Western Union $586M Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · VPX, Inc. $293M Key precedent: Guthrie v. Transamerica Life Ins. Co. - affirms that false-advertising/UCL class claims often fail certification absent uniform misrepresentation evidence, a key risk for Conopco. Main risk: Class certification denial due to individualized reliance/exposure issues, as in Guthrie v. Transamerica. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $500K–$81.25M Comparables are largely off-theory; class size and per-member figures are rough CPG-industry estimates, not case-specific data. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 9 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | C.D.
