Starbucks Sued Over Under-Filled Lattes

Two former Starbucks fanatics are suing the coffee giant for chronically under-filling its lattes in an attempt to save money on milk, Grub Street reports. The class-action lawsuit filed Wednesday by Siera Strumlauf and Benjamin Robles -- who used to go to Starbucks multiple times every week -- claims the company has "saved countless millions of dollars" through an act of intentional fraud against its customers.

According to TMZ, the suit alleges all three sizes of Starbucks lattes are regularly under-filled by at least 25%. And while the foam will occasionally reach the top of the cup, the lawsuit cites science when it claims foam doesn't count toward a drink's volume.

As a result, many words and phrases are to be removed from the common lexicon.

Johnson & Johnson Ordered To Pay $72 Million In Cancer Death Linked To Talcum Powder

A St. Louis , Missouri, court jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $72 million to the family of a woman whose death from ovarian cancer was linked to her long-time use of the healthcare company’s talc-based Baby Powder and Shower to Shower products.

Jurors in the circuit court awarded the family of Jacqueline Fox from Birmingham, Alabama, $10 million of actual damages and $62 million of punitive damages, according to local media reports Tuesday.  Fox died in October last year at the age of 62, three years after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Shortly before her death she recorded an audio deposition, saying she had used Johnson & Johnson talc powder products for feminine hygiene for more than 35 years, St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
