U.S. consumers sued for compensation of about 700 million yen, claiming that macaroni in a cup ”completed in 3 and a half minutes” is false
電子レンジで調理するカップ入りのマカロニ＆チーズについて、「３分半で完成」とうたった宣伝は偽りだとして、米フロリダ州の女性がメーカーを相手取り、５００万ドル（約６億９０００万円）の損害賠償を求める訴訟を起こしました
A Florida woman has paid $5 million to sell a microwaveable cup of macaroni and cheese, claiming it was falsely advertised as ”made in three-and-a-half minutes.” filed a lawsuit seeking damages
原告のアマンダ・ラミレスさんは、米食品大手のクラフト・ハインツ・フードが販売する「Velveeta」シリーズのシェル＆チーズについて、食べるまでの準備に宣伝よりも長い時間がかかると訴えています
The plaintiff, Amanda Ramirez, is suing Kraft Heinz Foods Inc.’s ”Velveeta” series of shells and cheeses to take longer to prepare than advertised.
訴訟は今月１８日、フロリダ州南部地区の米連邦地裁に起こされました
The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida on the 18th of this month.
訴状の中で原告側は、３分半で完成という同製品の説明について、「虚偽であり誤解を招く」と主張
In the complaint, the plaintiff claims that the description of the product, which can be completed in three and a half minutes, is ”false and misleading.”
The three-and-a-half minute microwave heating time includes the other four steps required for preparation: take the lid and bag of sauce, add water, heat in the microwave and stir. He claimed that it was impossible to complete macaroni and cheese in just three and a half minutes because of this procedure.
原告側は損害賠償に加え、「詐欺的な宣伝」をやめるよう同社に命じることも求めています
In addition to seeking damages, the plaintiffs also seek to order the company to stop its ”fraudulent advertising.”
