Iris Griffin filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Loblaw and related companies, alleging deceptive practices by charging customers for meat and seafood that includes packaging weight. The lawsuit claims this violates Canadian food regulations and encompasses multiple stores in Western Canada. Griffin asserts that Loblaw has persistently engaged in overcharging, either intentionally or recklessly, despite numerous consumer complaints and past media coverage. She argues that this practice contributes to the financial strain on Canadians, especially amid rising food costs. The lawsuit seeks to hold the grocery chain accountable for its pricing strategies.
The proposed class-action lawsuit filed by Iris Griffin claims Loblaw and its affiliates have engaged in deceptive practices by including packaging weight in the final price of meat and seafood.
Griffin's lawsuit alleges that Loblaw has consistently overcharged by not distinguishing between the edible portion and the packaging, violating Canadian food regulations that mandate accurate net quantity labelling.
Despite consumer complaints and media reports regarding underweighted meat, Loblaw is accused of continuing the practice 'either deliberately, or at minimum recklessly', with no rectification.
Griffin stated that the grocery chain profits from these deceptive practices, emphasizing that consumers are unfairly burdened by the rising cost of food.
