Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Campbell’s Soup: The Campbell’s Co. is facing a new class action lawsuit alleging it falsely advertises its microwavable soup products as safe to heat in the microwave when they are not. Plaintiff Margaret Peggi Louise Garvey claims Campbell’s misleads consumers by labeling and marketing its microwavable soup products as safe to heat in microwaves without risk. Garvey argues Campbell’s microwavable soup products are actually made with polypropylene plastic, which, she argues, releases harmful microplastics directly into the soup when microwaved. “By falsely promising that the products are microwavable and omitting material information about their ability to shed microplastics under ordinary use, [Campbell’s] has caused consumers to unknowingly expose themselves and their families to dangerous microplastics through everyday food preparation,” the Campbell’s class action lawsuit says.
There is no such thing as "safe" or "food safe" plastic. We'll keep saying that until we're blue in the face. And people should ABSOLUTELY NEVER heat any kind of plastic in the microwave. Heat causes even more toxic microplastics and endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic plastic chemicals to be released into the food or drink that’s being heated. The Campbell's Company knows this and should stop using plastic containers for its food products. And the court should force Campbell's to pay out for lying to its customers.
