Bucked Up Protein Drink Mislabeling Class Action

The lawsuit was initiated by Daniel Ruchman against DAS Labs LLC, which operates as Bucked Up. The core allegation is that the company's Lightly Carbonated Protein drinks contain a lower amount of protein than the 25 grams stated on the product labels. Ruchman claims that this inaccurate labeling caused him and other consumers to buy the drinks under the false belief that they were consuming more protein than was actually present.

The complaint asserts that independent laboratory testing allegedly showed the protein content in the drinks to be significantly lower than the advertised 25 grams. Ruchman further alleges that Bucked Up breached an express warranty, engaged in unjust enrichment, and violated several California laws, including the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law, and False Advertising Law. He seeks compensatory damages for himself and all class members.

The plaintiff is seeking a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The content does not provide specific settlement terms, deadlines, or a direct method for affected people to participate, other than noting the plaintiff is represented by Charles C. Weller of Charles C. Weller APC.
