A Florida woman sues Velveeta, claiming its macaroni takes longer than 3 1/2 minutes

A Florida woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz Foods Company, alleging its Velveeta Shells & Cheese takes longer than advertised to prepare.
Amanda Ramirez of Hialeah, Florida is listed as the plaintiff of the $5 million suit filed on Nov. 18 in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Florida. The suit alleges that Velveeta Shells & Cheese assertion that the product is “ready in 3 1/2 minutes” is "false and misleading," according to court documents.
In addition to the $5 million in damages, the plaintiffs are also seeking statutory and/or punitive damages from Kraft Heinz Foods Company.
"We are aware of this frivolous lawsuit and will strongly defend against the allegations in the complaint," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY.
The box for the shells list four simple steps, from removing the lid and cheese sauce pouch, adding water, microwaving, then stirring.
While the step of microwaving the product says to microwave the product for 3 1/2 minutes, the suit alleges the time listed could be interpreted as the total amount of time to make it, including the mixing of water and cheese sauce.
"Consumers seeing 'ready in 3 1/2 minutes' will believe it represents the total amount of time it takes to prepare the product, meaning from the moment it is unopened to the moment it is ready for consumption," the suit reads. "Three-and-a-half minutes is just the length of time to complete one of several steps."
The correct or assumed time to make the product is not listed.
The suit also alleges the product is sold for the "premium price" of $10.99 for eight cups and is a result of false and misleading representations. Ramirez is also described as someone who seeks to "stretch their money as far as possible" when buying groceries and "looks to bold statements of value when quickly selecting groceries." Ramirez said they would not have bought the product or paid less if the total time was listed.

The lawyer who took this case should be disbarred then tarred & feathered on the front steps of the courthouse. Leave him there as an example to others.

Lawyers are just doing their job when someone hires them to perform their services.
What the world really has too many of is complete and total absolute fricking morons, like the woman here.

Now I want mac and cheese. Chances this is just marketing ploy by velveeta?

It actually doesn’t say a lawyer filed it. You don’t need one. I know a few jack legs that file shite on their own constantly.

Someone needs to do a court search on this woman. I want to know how many other suits she has been involved with. There are people out there who make a decent living with these nuisance suits and then take a "go away" payment.
My company got hit by a firm out of NY who goes to company websites and tests them for ADA compliance. If you fail the ADA standard, they send you a letter demanding payment in lieu of suit. It's what the firm does full time. Our counsel advised to pay them and fix the site. Some shite about it not being compatible for blind people.
We are in the Defense Industry and make equipment for soldiers to use in combat. Our lifetime sales over 20 years to blind people is zero dollars.

I’m guessing $5 mil is a threshold of some sort. I’d really like to know why this woman thinks she’s been damaged to the tune of $5 mil.

Roughly how much are they extorting your company for?
