Higher prices are often based on quality, therefore fair trade products represent a higher quality than lower quality conventional items. Many fair trade products are offered by small companies that need to maintain higher margins to remain profitable. The example above supports peanut farmers in Malawi and Nicaragua. Liberation is 44% owned by the farmers who grow the nuts that are used in their products, and their Fairtrade Premium contributes to community development projects. The average retail price for peanut butter was $2.8 per 500 grams, which shows that fairtrade products are more expensive.

Dannon's activia yogurt🍦
This product was marketed as being clinically and scientifically proven to boost immune systems and regulating digestion. The product claimed to prevent cold and flu and as such, was priced at a 30% premium above competitors’ products.but the company was fine by a consumer because there was no change to her stomachache after drinking the yogurt. The company was forced to remove the words, “clinically” and “scientifically proven” from their labels.

Airborne 💊
Their marketing made claims that Airborne can “boost your immune system to help your body combat germs. However, there was no scientific proof to back these claims, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) was asked to conduct research and test the marketing claims of the product. And the claims were found to be false and without evidence.Airborne was forced to pay out $23.2 million in damages in a lawsuit

Are Kashi's "All Natural" products really all they're cracked up to be? Not according to a federal class action lawsuit, which claims Kashi Co. and Kellogg Company mislabeled their products as free of artificial ingredients, even though they knew that some of their GoLean and TLC products are "composed almost entirely of synthetic and unnaturally processed ingredients." Some of these synthetic ingredients are even listed by the FDA as prescription drugs and federally declared hazardous substances, the Kashi class action lawsuit alleges.
Kellogg has already settled at least two false advertising class action lawsuits concerning the nutritional claims of its Rice Krispies Cereal (file a claim to receive up to $15 from the Rice Krispies settlement here) and its Frosted Mini Wheats.

According to the Kashi class action lawsuit, "Defendants inserted a spectacular array of unnaturally processed and synthetic ingredients to its so-called 'all-natural' products. For example, Kashi's so-called 'All Natural' GoLean Shakes are composed almost entirely of synthetic and unnaturally processed ingredients."

In fact, the Kashi class action continues, in many of Kashi's products, "unnaturally processed and synthetic ingredients constitute the primary ingredients in these fraudulently-labeled 'all-natural' foods."

Some of these "shocking" ingredients include synthetic substances listed as prescription drugs, irradiated substances, pesticides that are a by-product of uranium mining, and federally declared hazardous substances, the class action lawsuit states. Kashi also adds several ingredients that the FDA has declined to declare as a "safe" food additive, and several highly processed exitotoxins to its products that are hidden sources of MSG.

The Kashi class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of a proposed class of all U.S. consumers who purchased falsely labeled Kashi products in the U.S. It is seeking restitution and restoration of any money Class Members paid for these products, damages and penalties for Class Members, and other relief.

A copy of the Kellogg & Kashi False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.

The case is Michael Bates v. Kashi Company, Kellogg Company, et al., Case No. 11-cv-1967, U.S. District Court, Southern District of California.

UPDATE 1: California residents who purchased certain Kashi products that were allegedly falsely advertised as natural may also be eligible for benefits from a class action settlement. For more information, visit the combined Kashi/Bear Naked settlement website at www.NaturalClassSettlement.com.

UPDATE 2: Checks for the Kashi and Bear Naked class action settlements have been mailed! On Jan. 2, 2015, Top Class Actions viewers began reporting they had received checks worth as much as $328.22 from the settlements. Congratulations to everyone who submitted claims and got paid!

Camel cigarettes
An advertisement for Camel cigarettes claimed that doctors preferred the brand in a supposedly independent survey, which was revealed to have been conducted by an ad agency using suspect methods. The cigarette commercial showed actors dressed as doctors puffing on cigarettes between house calls. Even at the time there was substantial evidence that cigarettes were deadly, and some view the use of doctors to imply their health.

Vitaminwater
Coca-Cola falsely claimed its Vitaminwater products could promote healthy joints, reduce the risk of eye disease, and have other health benefits.
