SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) - An unhappy customer is complaining Bounty lied to her about the amount of paper towels she was buying.
A class action lawsuit against Procter & Gamble filed April 8 in California federal court says the math it used to declare customers were getting bang for their buck doesn't add up. Lawyers at Bursor & Fisher filed the case.
On packaging that claims 12 "singles plus" select-a-size rolls equal 18 regular rolls, P&G stated a regular roll was equal to 83 sheets. But on the company's website, P&G claims a regular roll is 63 sheets, the suit says.
"By short-changing its Select-A-Size multi-roll paper towel packages, P&G has saved millions of dollars in the cost of goods sold and was unjustly enriched by taking payment for more product than it delivers," the suit says.
