More Legal Shenanigans from the Biden Administration’s Department of Education

Among the foremost threats to individual freedom in America is the abusive and oftentimes lawless behavior of federal administrative agencies, whose vast armies of overpaid bureaucrats remain unaccountable for their excesses.

Among the most familiar examples of that bureaucratic abuse is the Department of Education (DOE).  Recall, for instance, the United States Supreme Court’s humiliating rebuke last year of the Biden DOE’s effort to shift hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt from the people who actually owed them onto the backs of American taxpayers.

Even now, despite that rebuke, the Biden DOE launched an alternative scheme last month in an end-around effort to achieve that same result.

A Washington State woman is suing coffee giant Folgers alleging its trademark red canister of coffee falls short on the number of cups it proclaims to make.

Julie Marthaller filed the class action lawsuit last week on the grounds (pun intended) that the canister says it would yield “up to 210 6 fl oz. cups” when it actually “contained only enough ground coffee to make approximately 169 6 fl oz. cups.”

According to the complaint, Marthaller said she would have paid significantly less for the product had she known it didn’t contain the amount of coffee it claimed to contain.

“Therefor, [she] suffered injury in fact and lost money as a result of Defendants’ misleading, false, unfair, and deceptive practices,” the lawsuit claims.

The suit brews up more details, saying the label on the coffee recommends “consumers use one tablespoon to make one serving (6 fl oz cup) of coffee. One tablespoon of Folgers weighs .15 ounces. Using the recommended method, 1 25.4 ounce canister contains only enough ground coffee to make approximately 169 cups of coffee (25.4 ounces/.15 ounces per serving = 31.5 ounces)”.

“Mathematically, the canister can not make more than 169 cups.”

The suit claims the defendants committed fraud and violated Washington’s Consumer Protection Act.

According to news reports, the named defendants, Folgers and Smuckers, have yet to respond.
