Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart alleging the organic milk sold in stores under the Great Value label isn't organic. The lawsuit names Aurora Dairy Corp. as the milk producer and supplier for Wal-Mart and according to the lawsuit Aurora is in violation of more than a dozen USDA regulations.
The suit also alleges Wal-Mart misbranded and misled customers to purchase organic milk at a greater price than they would otherwise pay, violating state deceptive trade practices and consumer protection laws.
Aurora's organic milk is also under question in another HBSS lawsuit involving Costco Wholesale.
If you purchased organic milk from Wal-Mart you could be eligible to join this suit.
