Costco · Food products and grocery retail products marketed as ethically sourced or sustainable

Costco shoppers allege that Costco marketed food products, including chocolate, cashews, shrimp, and Kirkland-brand goods, as ethically sourced or sustainable despite alleged links to child or forced labor in the supply chain. The proposed class action is being filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon and seeks class certification, damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief; its current procedural stage is a new filing.
