Tuna Lawsuit

• Provides information and details about the class action lawsuit entitled Hendricks v. StarKist Co. pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

The Tuna Lawsuit revolves around claims that the StarKist Company was not filling their tuna cans with the amount of meat state din the packaging.  Class members contend that StarKist violated state and federal laws by under-filling some of its 5-ounce canned tuna products.  StarKist has denied any wrong doing in the case but has agreed to settle in order to avoid a long drawn out court case (that would most likely cost the firm millions and millions of bucks).
