BREAKING NEWS – British Columbia, Canada – The maker of Canada Dry ginger ale settled a class-action false-advertising lawsuit filed by British Columbia man Victor Cardoso, who claimed to have spent years buying the carbonated beverage for his family thinking it had medicinal benefits based on its label promoting it as “Made from Real Ginger” and “Natural,” CTV News reported.
Canada Dry Mott’s agreed to pay $200,000 plus $18,607 in disbursements, even though the company “expressly denies liability and is not required to change its product labeling or advertising for products marketed in Canada,” court documents say. The company was also successfully sued last year for false advertising after the company admitted that Canada is not “dry”, but instead it’s a drab frozen wasteland full of people that don’t understand why they were forced to learn French.
