$7.5 Million Settlement Reached in Organic Milk Class Action Lawsuit

A settlement of $7.5 million was reached with Aurora Organic Dairy in a class action lawsuit over the company’s milk products. Gray Ritter Graham attorney Don Downing was co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs and alleged that Aurora, which supplies organic milk to Wal-Mart, Target, Wild Oats, Costco, and other retailers, failed to adhere to USDA organic standards while labeling its milk as organic. The cost of organic milk is significantly higher than non-organic milk.
