Gerber “Good Start” Investigation

Federal Judge Certifies Class of California Residents Who Bought Gerber Good Start Gentle

On March 23, 2016 the Honorable John A. Kronstadt of the Central District of California entered an order allowing consumer fraud claims to proceed against Gerber Products Co., a subsidiary of Nestlé Group, for its marketing of infant formula to consumers in California.  Judge Kronstadt granted a consumer’s request to maintain the action on behalf of “All persons who, between July 8, 2013 through April 23, 2016, purchased Good Start Gentle containers displaying the ‘1st and Only’ seal in the State of California for personal use and not resale, and who did so because Good Start Gentle was described as the ‘1st and only routine formula to reduce risk of developing allergies.’”

Stephen J. Fearon, Jr., one of the attorneys for the consumers, estimated that there are thousands of California consumers who bought the product during the time period that the consumers allege that Gerber/Nestlé was falsely representing the benefits of the product.
