Blankets and buffalo wings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A consumer that filed a class action lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings earlier this year is now turning his compensation efforts toward a home goods company.\u00a0 In the restaurant lawsuit filed in March, the plaintiff, Aimen Halim, claimed that Buffalo Wild Wings falsely advertises its boneless buffalo wings as \u201cwings,\u201d when the meat is actually the white meat of a chicken.\u00a0 In this lawsuit, Halim claimed that had he known that the boneless wings were not deboned wing meat and more resembled chicken nuggets, he might not have ordered that particular item, or he would have paid less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Months after a judge dismissed the chicken meat dispute<\/a>, Halim has banded together with four other plaintiffs who question the deceptive marketing tactics of a popular blanket brand Berkshire Blanket & Home Company.\u00a0 According to the advertising produced for one of its plush blankets, Berkshire claims that the process of manufacturing the blankets is environmentally safe.\u00a0 Specifically, the controversial blanket was once called \u201cEcoSoft Blanket\u201d and was branded as using half of the water to dye and manufacture.\u00a0 The issue that Halim maintains<\/a> about this advertisement is the ambiguity of \u201chalf the water.\u201d\u00a0 Based on Berkshire\u2019s inability or unwillingness to further explain or reference how it calculated this measurement, Halim has accused the company of deceiving customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the first lawsuit filed in March, it may be difficult for Halim to substantiate the damages and justify the $5 million in sought compensation.\u00a0 Halim aims to represent the consumers who were led to believe that they were purchasing a green product.\u00a0 Although Berkshire has not necessarily backed its claim of \u201chalf the water,\u201d the company\u2019s \u201cEcoSoft Blanket\u201d has been rebranded as the \u201cSoft Blanket.\u201d\u00a0 It is distributed to retailers, such as Costco and Amazon, in a variety of sizes for $20 to $50.\u00a0 A judge is now left to decide the fate of the class action and if the claims against Berkshire will warm up in court. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
