Putative Class Contends One-Cup Coffee Cartridges Are Not Fresh Ground

A New Mexico resident has filed a putative statewide class action in federal
court claiming that a company which makes one-cup coffee cartridges for
Keurig® single-serve coffee machines falsely labels and markets its cartridges
as fresh coffee when they are actually filled with instant coffee. Bracewell v.
Sturm Foods, Inc., No. 11-01024 (D.N.M., filed November 18, 2011).
Alleging violations of New Mexico and Illinois consumer fraud laws and unjust
enrichment, the plaintiff seeks statutory damages, injunctive relief, attorney’s
fees, and costs.
