Case Overview
In 2009, Plaintiffs brought suit in federal court in Fresno, California, alleging claims under federal and California state law. The class action complaint alleges that Defendants, DairyAmerica, Inc. and California Dairies, Inc., negligently and incorrectly reported dairy product prices to the National Agricultural Statistic Service (“NASS”), a division of the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). As a result of this misreporting, prices for various grades of milk products were set lower than they should have been, inflating DairyAmerica’s profits and depriving dairy farmers of tens of millions of dollars in income.
