DEZZI RAE MARSHALL, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated v. RED LOBSTER MANAGEMENT LLC; RED LOBSTER SEAFOOD CO., LLC; RED LOBSTER RESTAURANTS LLC; and RED LOBSTER HOSPITALITY LLC

A proposed class of seafood consumers has filed suit against Red Lobster alleging that the company’s marketing practices are deceptive. The complaint states that while the company claims its seafood is “sourced from the highest standards,” in reality its products come from “suppliers that use environmentally destructive practices that threaten endangered populations of North American right whales” and “industrial shrimp farms that do not employ the highest environmental or animal welfare standards.”
