Customers Sue Wise Foods Because They Say The Bags Hold More Air Than Chips! (Suing For $5 Million For False Advertising)
Customers have filed a class action lawsuit against Wise Foods, claiming Wise chips contain vastly more empty space than they do actual product.
Plaintiffs Sameline Alce and Desiré Nugent of New York and of Washington, D.C. say Wise Foods Inc. packages smaller amounts of chips into significantly larger bags.
According to the lawsuit, they say the empty space, known in the trade as slack-fill, serves no purpose other than to deceive consumers into thinking they’re getting more product than what’s actually in the bag.
Alce and Nugent included photographs and measurements of two bags of Wise chips in the lawsuit, showing that the product fills only about one-third of the available space inside the bag.
The rest is empty space. Posted By PSmooth
