Guess what, Mr. White? French fries don't actually come from France, and Aunt Jemima doesn't really make your pancakes. Roll Eyes

From the article:
quote:

A man has filed a class action lawsuit against Texas Pete hot sauce after he learned the product isn't actually made in Texas.

Instead, the product is made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which the lawsuit claims is false advertising.

When California resident Philip White purchased a bottle of Texas Pete at a Ralph’s supermarket in September 2021, he believed it was made in Texas, according to the complaint, filed by The Clarkson Law Firm on behalf of White on Sept. 12. in Los Angeles federal court.

The lawsuit said White wouldn’t have bought the Louisiana-style hot sauce, or would not have paid as much for it if he knew its origin.

The label does indicate it's made in NC...printed in English.

A chance for a big payday for a law firm.

What a hassle and waste of money for the company that makes the stuff. They will have to defend the lawsuit.

Hope it gets kicked out.

How delicious would be the irony should Philip White turn out to be a person of color?

Camrys are made in the US, Accords are too.

Should I sue them since everything suggests they are Japanese cars and should only be made there

The label doesn’t imply it’s made in Texas. Texas Pete sounds like a nickname of the guy, not a location of manufacturing. Usually someone with a location as a nickname is because they are now located elsewhere. This will be thrown out I’d guess.



These go to eleven.

I surely hope so. This case is a waste of time and resources.

For kicks, I had a quick look at The Clarkson Law Firm's website:

I hope when the case gets thrown out, White is commanded to pay for all of the defendant's legal fees, which I hope is something substantial.

$3 bottle of hot sauce - what damages is the wonder idiot claiming?

An image of the product's back label states it is manufactured in North Carolina. But the lawsuit claims that a consumer would likely not notice.


A law firm desperate enough to take up this frivolous case? Yeah, that White guy needs to pay for the defendant's legal fees, when the case gets tossed.

Maybe I should contact The Clarkson Law Firm to bring suit against the Atomic Fireball people. I bought some and I'm almost certain these things don't contain any radioactive, much less fissionable, material at all

Texas Petes Louisiana Style hot sauce. Made in North Carolina.


White and his law firm need a kick in the taint.
