King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls are not Hawaiian enough, a new lawsuit charges.

The class-action suit, filed Friday in Manhattan federal court, accuses the maker of the popular baked products of defrauding consumers by suggesting they’re still made in the Aloha State.

In fact, they’re made in California.

“King’s Hawaiian has been known as the most authentic purveyor of its eponymous Hawaiian rolls,” Long Island attorney Spencer Sheehan, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of a Yonkers man and others, told The Post on Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, they’re labeling gives consumers the impression that it’s made in Hawaii,” he said. “It’s not.”

>> he has filed 27 lawsuits on behalf of consumers

he doesn’t have standing.

All of these class action lawsuit lawyers sue for millions if not billions. They get cash and the conscrewmers get discount coupons.

I never expected the “Hawaiian Rolls” to be made in Hawaii and shipped all over the continental US. I figured it was made by regional bakeries under contract, just like Buttermilk Bread and all of the old Hostess ‘cupcake’ products.

I do consider it false advertising NOT to mention that several German and British beer brands are produced in the US and are NOT imported. I remember when Tuborg was brewed here, the company with the license had it terminated by Tuborg because they changed the recipe or something in the brewing process. I remember visiting the Tuborg brewery in Denmark and enjoyed its excellent taste.

I’m hoping there’s no Girl Scouts in my Girl Scout cookies.

This is the same kind of lawsuit that said that Canada Dry Ginger Ale was not ginger enough.

I need to find a case like this to get rich off of somebody else. < /sarc>
