Bodum Holding AG sued Starbucks Corp on Friday for alleged product disparagement...
NEW YORK - Bodum Holding AG sued Starbucks Corp on Friday for alleged product disparagement in connection with the coffee company’s recent recall of 230,000 co-branded French presses made from recycled materials.
In a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Bodum said Starbucks had no basis to “unilaterally” conduct the May 1 recall because the Bodum + Starbucks presses were not defective and met required specifications. The lawsuit seeks to force Starbucks to pay all costs for the recall and pay damages to Bodum for hurting its reputation.Bodum is among the best-known makers of French presses, and has sold them at Starbucks under a 2002 purchasing agreement.
Starbucks said it recalled presses sold from November 2016 to January 2019 for about $20 each after receiving nine reports of broken plunger knobs, resulting in lacerations or punctures. Another 33,200 presses were sold in Canada.
