Consumer class action work against food, supplement, and cosmetic manufacturers for false advertising, deceptive labeling, and unfair business practices under California's Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act drives The Law Office of Jack Fitzgerald, PC, a litigation shop founded in San Diego in 2013. Steering committee membership on the Cambridge Forum on Plaintiffs' Food Fraud Litigation gives the firm a national feed on labeling-claim trends, a consumer-protection specialty that runs adjacent to the wage-and-hour and employment docket at Consumer & Employment Lawyers. Representative recoveries include a $5 million common fund settlement with Boiron over homeopathic product labeling and a settlement exceeding $3 million with Ferrero over Nutella television, print, and web advertising. Ninth Circuit appellate work on California food-labeling preemption questions gives the firm a published-opinion paper trail that occasionally intersects with the trademark false-advertising analysis done by US IP Attorneys PC. The practice also takes on worker misclassification and wage-and-hour violations, including independent contractor reclassification claims under AB 5 and its Labor Code codification. Multi-district class certification fights involving expert economists, consumer survey methodology, and ascertainability challenges under Ninth Circuit Mazza standards are the firm's most complex workload.
