On May 5, 2010, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed a putative consumer class action against the Firm’s client, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC. Simpson Thacher moved to dismiss the complaint on multiple grounds, arguing that the plaintiffs lacked standing because they had failed to allege a cognizable injury, that plaintiffs’ claims were preempted by federal law, and that the complaint failed to state a claim. The Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety. The winning motion papers were prepared by Chet Kronenberg and Colleen Keating.
