A woman wants Post Consumer Brands to fork over $5 million because, she alleges, her Honey-Comb cereal box had fewer servings than expected.
In documents obtained by Complex, the New York-based woman accused the company of having a "false and misleading" label, as the family box-sized cereal had one serving fewer than the package's described 13 servings.
In the lawsuit, the woman said if she paid $6 for the item, she was "deprived of $0.45" due to the box allegedly containing fewer than 13 servings.
The woman's attorneys said their client has "suffered injury" due to the alleged loss of the Honey-Comb box being "misbranded."
"Plaintiff continues to suffer harm because she cannot rely on the Products' labeling, including the Representations, for their truth, and thus is unable to determine whether she can purchase the products in the future," the document reads.
Post Consumer Brands has yet to publicly respond.
A separate class action lawsuit was filed involving Fruity Pebbles, another Post brand, earlier this month when a New York woman alleged that its family-size box did not contain accurate servings and understated nutritional contents.
