SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) — Reynolds is facing a class action alleging its aluminum foil is falsely labeled as "Made In U.S.A."
Zulaika Mayfield, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint Sept. 7 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Reynolds Consumer Products LLC, alleging violation of California's Unfair Competition Law and other claims.
According to Mayfield's class action, she purchased Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil in San Francisco between July 2020 and 2023. She alleges that the product is falsely labeled as "Made in U.S.A." when the "raw materials" for the product were sourced from other countries.
She claims she and other consumers expect the labeling to mean all the raw materials were sourced in America and she relied on the packaging when purchasing the product. Mayfield alleges Reynolds' false and misleading representations caused consumers to pay $4.99 per 75 square feet, which is higher than what similar products not sold in a misleading way are priced.
Mayfield and the class seek monetary relief, interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. They are represented by George Granade of Reese LLP in Los Angeles; Michael Reese of Reese LLP in New York City; and Spender Sheehan of Sheehan & Associates PC in Great Neck, New York.
