Trader Joe's sued - too little caffeine in coffee

Several customers are suing the American grocery giant Trader Joe's after the chain sold coffee with significantly lower caffeine content than usual - without this being made clear, CBS News reports.

The lawsuits concern the company's own-brand coffee beans. Customers claim that the chain has been misleading about its stated caffeine content - and that the coffee contains significantly less caffeine than expected.

Tests of the beans show, according to the lawsuit, that the product contains "half as much caffeine as a regular coffee blend."

"In this case, it is not stated that the coffee is semi-decaffeinated," the lawsuit further states.

Customers are now demanding financial compensation and that a federal judge order the company to review and reconsider all previous complaints regarding the product.
