Unfortunately, they’re labeling gives consumers the impression that... they're made from real Hawaiians.

What's the world coming to.

Jeez. The epitome of the frivolous lawsuit. Of course it will go ahead. We have so many lawyers now and they all need to get rich.

In related news, all class-action lawyers are now on high alert. They have just been informed that ‘Moon Pies’ are not really made on the Moon.
