Yogurt company The Dannon Company has refuted the class-action lawsuit filed against it in Los Angeles, California. The company has said the complaint does not have any support for the generalizations made in the lawsuit and the publication cited in the lawsuit does not disprove the company's scientific substantiation for its product benefits. The report cited in the lawsuit, published by the American Academy of Microbiology, does not refer to any Dannon products, the company added.
The company also said it makes all scientific studies about its products available to the public and follows the method of peer-review and publication and regularly consults independent experts in the field of probiotics about the science behind all its probiotic claims.
The company has claimed that the scientific journals which have reviewed and published the findings on its products and the consumers who use the products have confirmed the benefits. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
