BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) – A New York lawyer has filed a class action lawsuit over a three-year-old coupon offer on Kellogg’s products that expired after the offer did.
Spencer Sheehan filed his lawsuit in New York federal court on behalf of two plaintiffs against Kellogg because a 2017 promotion for $5 off Crayola crayons expired on Sept. 30, 2017 – a year before the Eggo waffles expired.
The suit names other similar offers on Pop Tarts and cereals up through 2020.
“Where a shopper views a promotion such as described here, they will have no reason to scrutinize the fine print telling them when the promotion expires,” Sheehan wrote.
“Reasonable consumers are not so innately distrustful of companies and expect that all aspect of consumable items, including promotions, are functional throughout their shelf-life.”
