Trader Joe's Coffee Lawsuit: Less Caffeine Than Advertised

0:00It's April 27th. This is Birmingham News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. Some folks who grab Trader Joe's French roast low-ass coffee beans are hitting the retailer with a class-action lawsuit saying it packs way less, caffeine than your average Joe. The suit dropped on April 23rd in California Court, brought by customers from California, New York, and Illinois. They argue Trader Joe's didn't warn buyers that this low-asset blend has less kick than standard coffees. Many lovers count on that buzz to power it through the day, and these plaintiffs say the hidden low caffeine tricked them into buying something that didn't deliver the energy boost they needed. Independent tests back them up, showing these beans have about half the caffeine of Trader Joe's regular blend, which isn't flagged on the label like. Decaf would be, they're pushing for damages, a halt to sales, and an end to what they call misleading packaging, while Trader Joe's hasn't weighed in yet on the caffeine controversy.
