Court Certifies Class Action in Scotts EZ Seed Consumer Lawsuit

On January 26, 2015, Judge Vincent Briccetti of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted plaintiffs motion to certify a class of purchasers of Scotts Turf Builder EZ Seed product (“EZ SEED”).  

The suit, which challenges defendants marketing of EZ Seed, alleges numerous causes of action for false advertising, breach of warranty, and unjust enrichment under New York and California law.

Additionally, Judge Briccetti appointed Faruqi & Faruqi as co-lead class counsel in the matter, citing Faruqi & Faruqi’s “substantial experience in consumer class action litigation.”

Commenting on the ruling, Plaintiffs’ attorney Antonio Vozzolo said, “we are pleased with the court’s well-reasoned and thorough analysis on granting class certification.”
