Driscoll’s hit with class-action over PFAS in strawberries
A consumer-fraud class-action accuses Driscoll’s of selling strawberries marketed as “Only the Finest Berries” that allegedly contain PFAS forever chemicals and other pesticide residues; six plaintiffs from several states say the marketing misled them, citing a lab report. The suit also references a whistleblower claim that executives prioritized profits over pesticide compliance, while Driscoll’s denies the allegations and defends its safety programs.
