ACI's Advanced Summit on

Food & Beverage Consumer Fraud Litigation

Thursday, December 01, 2011
Doubletree Hotel Chicago Magnificent Mile, Chicago, IL

The number of consumer fraud cases currently being brought against food and beverage manufacturers is staggering.

The “no-science” claim, putative class action, “me-too” or follow-on litigation – all aliases for what food and beverage counsel have come to know as the troublesome consumer fraud case. Alleging economic harm caused by alleged fraudulent or deceptive marketing practices, labeling or product packaging and often arising out of the liability exposure created by FDA and FTC enforcement actions, defense counsel are often pressured to quickly settle these claims and at a considerable cost to the company.

How will your company or client respond when faced with one of these actions?

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to benchmark with your peers as you are provided with proven strategies for effectively defending against consumer fraud litigation, specifically within your industry. Learn how to strategically attack the plaintiff’s theory of causation while challenging class certification to prove a lack of misrepresentation.

Hear from your colleagues who have successfully defended against consumer fraud claims within the food and beverage industries as they share with you insights into:

  • How to ensure your response to FDA and FTC regulatory actions do not open the door to downstream litigation exposure
  • Effectively disputing class certification
  • What the most effective defenses are against deceptive packaging and labeling claims
  • What the current areas of focus are for plaintiff’s counsel in food and beverage consumer fraud litigation

A unique opportunity to get highly-specialized information in a setting where you can network and benchmark with your peers, if you are involved at all with the defense of complex, class action consumer fraud claims within the food and beverage industry, this is one litigation event you don’t want to miss!
