Fairlife, Coca-Cola Class Action Over Alleged Cow Abuse Trimmed

A federal judge has narrowed a class action lawsuit against Coca-Cola Co. and its dairy unit fairlife LLC, which claimed the companies misled consumers about animal welfare. The judge preserved certain claims that argue the company’s cartoon-cow logo and “fairlife” name imply ethical treatment of cows, despite alleged abuse at its facilities. These remaining claims involve breach of express warranty and a violation of California’s false-advertising law.
