A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against 9199-4467 Quebec Inc. d/b/a Earth Rated (“Earth Rated”). Plaintiffs Meganne Natale and Chelsea Cheng (collectively, the “Class Representatives”) allege that they were misled into believing that Earth Rated Certified Compostable Poop Bags (the “Certified Compostable Poop Bags”) were “compostable.” Earth Rated claims these particular products are compostable. Thus, Earth Rated denies all allegations of wrongdoing, and the Court has not determined who is right. Rather, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation.
