A judge has rejected Starbucks’ efforts to put the kibosh on a lawsuit filed by two customers who claim that the coffee chain routinely underfills lattes.
U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson in San Francisco said [PDF] that two Starbucks customers can pursue their lawsuit, and may seek damages from Starbucks in their proposed class action.
The lawsuit claims that although Starbucks advertises 12-ounce, 16-ounce, and 20-ounce serving sizes, the coffee company intentionally underfills its lattes by 25%.
