Starbucks To Face Lawsuit Claiming Their Refresher Fruit Drinks Lack Fruit

People don’t play about their Starbucks and it looks like the popular franchise restaurant may have to pay up for ripping off their customers.

According to court documents, Starbucks has been ordered by a federal judge to face a lawsuit claiming that some of its Refresher fruit drinks lack fruit.

Starbucks attempted to have the class action lawsuit dismissed but U.S. District Judge John Cronan rejected Starbucks’ request.

The request was rejected because too many customers would agree that their refreshers lacked fruit. Just ask Tokyo Toni.

In August 2022, the complaint was filed alleging Starbucks engaged in false and deceptive practices in the marketing and sale of a number of its Refresher drinks.

Plaintiffs Joan Kominis, of Astoria, New York, and Jason McAllister, of Fairfield, California, allege that “reasonable consumers” bought the drinks under the assumption that they contained “all the fruits clearly listed in their respective names,” reads the judge’s opinion.”

He continued, “yet the Products are each missing either mango, passion fruit, or açaí.”
