Everyone knows plaintiff attorneys are ravenous, but this is ridiculous. The class-action lawyers at Sheehan & Associates in New York and the Wright Law Office in Florida are arguing that Kraft Heinz Co. should pay millions because its microwavable pasta takes too long to prepare.
This macaroni misadventure began when plaintiff Amanda Ramirez bought a pack of single-serving Velveeta shells and cheese at a Publix in Hialeah, Fla., this fall. The package says the dish is “ready in 3½ minutes,” but Ms. Ramirez discovered that “3-and-a-half minutes is just the length of time to complete one of several steps,” according to her complaint filed in federal court in Florida.
