| The Campbell's Companysource ↗ filed by Siri & Glimstad Llp · Judge Elaine E. Bucklo · No. 1:26-cv-11418 · 28:1332 Diversity-Fraud · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $225M–$740M ▾No comparable ruling in the set directly addresses food/CPG false-advertising label claims; Citizens of Humanity shows 'Made in USA'-style claims can fail on proof, while Cetorelli shows deceptive-practices claims can survive and yield treble damages if pled well. Comparable settlements $225M–$740M median $299.50M · n=10 DiDi Global Inc. $740M · Merck & Co. Inc. a $688M · Western Union $586M Per member (realized): ~$2,500 median · $2,500–$2,500 (n=1) Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · VPX, Inc. $293M Key precedent: Citizens of Humanity v. Donboli - shows labeling-based false advertising claims face real risk of failing on merits/probable cause even after surviving initial stages. Main risk: Dismissal for lack of actionable deception or reliance, as consumer-labeling theories often fail at the merits stage per Citizens of Humanity. This defendant: One prior filing (privacy/wiretap) shows Campbell's faces recurring consumer-protection-adjacent litigation, but no clear pattern yet. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2.50M–$200M Comparable set lacks true food/CPG false-advertising rulings or settlements; estimate relies on analogy and is highly uncertain given small, mismatched sample. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 9 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | N.D.
