This DOJ press release today reminded me immediately of Q's class action post…
DOJ excerpt
Proposed Class Action Settlement Involving Lenny & Larry’s Cookies Amended to Give Consumers More Value
In a Statement of Interest filed Feb. 15, 2019, the United States argued that the court should reject the settlement because it directed most of its value toward non-class members and attorney’s fees rather than to consumer plaintiffs.
"The Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 provides the Attorney General and state officials an opportunity to review federal class action settlements before district courts grant final approval. The United States recently filed an amicus brief in another class action case pending before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Chapman et al. v. Tristar Products, Inc. The government argued that the Chapman settlement unfairly awarded millions of dollars to attorneys but provided consumers with little more than nearly worthless coupons."
