Plaintiff Hired Lawyer First, Then Bought Product” https://www.overlawyered.com/2011/06/whoops-plaintiff-hired-lawyer-first-then-bought-product/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:30:15 +0000 hourly 1 By: captnhal https://www.overlawyered.com/2011/06/whoops-plaintiff-hired-lawyer-first-then-bought-product/comment-page-1/#comment-122817 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:30:15 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=23414#comment-122817 To me this is obviously a scam. If the lead plaintiff were truly concerned about the labeling, she would have read the label before making a purchase. I also think 99% of the people who read the label after the fact would simply cease buying the product, or at worst, ask for a refund and be done with it.

I suspect that class action cases like this are quite common in that lawyers seek a plaintiff rather than the other way around. Is it even logical that someone purchase iced tea and then look for a lawyer? What makes this case unique is the carelessness of the lawyers.
