Dive Summary:
- The Kellogg Company will pay out $4 million after a California judge signed off on a revised penalty in a class action lawsuit over Frosted Mini-Wheats claims.
- The lawsuit targeted marketing claims from 2008 that Kellogg's cereal could improve attentiveness for children by almost 20%.
- A previous $10.5 million settlement from 2011 was rejected after it was determined that some of the money, which had been tagged for charity donations, would benefit Kellogg in some way.
Dive Insight:
