Starbucks facing lawsuit over Refresher drinks

(CNN) – A popular drink might be missing an ingredient advertised in its name.

That’s the claim in a consumer protection lawsuit against Starbucks over the coffee giant’s Refresher line of drinks.

Noan Kominis of New York and Jason McAllister of California brought the suit.

The drinks in question are the Refresher line Mango Dragon-Fruit, Mango Dragon-Fruit Lemonade, Pineapple Passion-Fruit, Pineapple Passion-Fruit Lemonade, Stawberry Açai and Strawberry Açai Lemonade.

Kominis and McAllister say the drinks did not have mango, passion fruit or açai.

They say they would not have paid a premium price for the drinks if they had known they were missing some of the fruits advertised.

Starbucks said the allegations were “inaccurate and without merit.”

The company wanted the case dismissed because it said the drink names refer to the flavors, not necessarily ingredients.

A federal judge disagreed and the case is moving forward.
