I've not seen this product in a Costco store either, though quite honestly, I'd suspect the suit to be one of those seeking deep pockets for a payday, hence naming Costco as the defendent rather than the manufacturer.
Ironic that the suit would use references from recommendations posted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, since many of the vendors and the web sites that sell long term shelf stable foods are located in Utah, and many of the vendors of survival "supplies", shelf stable foods, etc, are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (And the plaintiff also claims to be a member of this religious order, though he regularly refers to it as the LDS Church rather than by it's proper name as recommended by the church, even though the pleading is a legal document.)
Also found it odd with his making claims of not being able to locate the actual manufacturer. Took me about 3 seconds to get it off their web site, the same one that he claims is listed as being not traceable.
Actually, after reading the pleading, I though it kind of funny and may be full of holes. (hope the judge doesn't file a complaint to the WA State Bar against the plaintiff
).
While I would have to agree that there is merit to his complaint, and that an injunction should be issued to prevent the further distribution of this product with it's current marketing claim, I would have to question the motives of this attorney who files as a class on behalf of himself and goes after the local retailer rather than the manufacturer.
BTW, I'm not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but even I know enough to know that "LDS Church" is not an acceptable means of referencing the church in formal documents. And as I'm not a member of their church, I often just refer to them as Mormons
, though sometimes as LDS'ers (not proper, but it's a term that members often use in referring to each other.) The proper term to refer to a church member is Latter Day Saint, I just have a problem calling any person who is alive and breathing a 'saint' :lolsign:

I have not seen this item at my local Costco. I am surprised they are still selling it. There is a class action lawsuit against them for the product.
