The label on a cup of Velveeta’s microwaveable mac and cheese says the meal only takes three and a half minutes to prepare. But a Florida woman says this is false – and she’s suing the manufacturer for $5 million.

Amanda Ramirez, of Hialeah, has filed a proposed $5 million class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz Foods Company alleging the food producer’s Velveeta Shells & Cheese takes longer than advertised to prepare, court documents show. Attorneys for Ramirez filed the lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida on November 18, according to the complaint.

“We are aware of this frivolous lawsuit and will strongly defend against the allegations in the complaint,” a Kraft Heinz Foods Company spokesperson told CNN Monday. The lawsuit alleges that Kraft is unfairly profiting off of false advertising on the cups, especially because customers trust the well-known brand to be honest with them.

Unpopular opinion, i hope she wins. When i bought that once i was pissed at the quality and process to make it. Didn't taste like the stove top kind and was not as convenient as other similar products. And messy. I could see someone wasting their break making it and being mad.

Lady about to sue Velveeta over her microwave being 800w Fixed it 😂😂😂

Frivolous law suit!!

Look out minute rice.

Peak entitlement.

Should sue back if proven right….

Then I'm suing Minute Rice for the exact same reasons.

False advertising is false advertising. Like (real) safety you start with the small stuff and avalanche it. Creates an environment of safety-consciousness.

They should be sued for calling that garbage a meal, and she should be imprisoned for eating it at all

florida woman

Wtf's her hourly rate?🙄

She’s entitled to the money simply for eating that dreck krafty

Nothing better to do? Who buys this stuff, yikes 👹

The terrorist Islamic Republic has accused NilofarHamidi, the journalist who published the news of Mahsamini's murder, of spying for Western governments. NilofarHamidi's life is in danger, be his vvoice IranRevoIution2022

Grade A scheme hatching

🤦‍♀️ Never had it but, everything I do buy says something about not all microwaves being equal. Sounds frivolous IMO.

Give me strength.

americans are really disgusting with their diet and suing idiocies

thing like this need to be supported and backed up from the whole community as a consumer so there would be no chance for the company at any products to deceive us all on their own shake of profits.

Time is money

Maybe it’s the microwave, Karen

Living the American dream I guess. Suing at the drop of a hat .

Reminds me of an episode on Seinfeld

Again. This kind of lawsuit makes other ppl more inconvenient.

America in its purest form!

Who’s behind Ramirez’s greed

OnlyInFlorida

microwaveable mac and cheese can be cancerous 😬🙈

Insane…

Abi make I sue Jamb and this school too?

Imagine if she wins how the societal standards would change in regards to public advertising. Sheesh

News?

5 million for inconvenience. 🤔🙄

Ridiculous 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

FLORIDA...nuf said!1😏

🤦🏼‍♀️

🤡🌍

This is your news ? FML, no wonder your ratings are trash while the World us falling into chaos. Mac & Cheese labeling ..... 😀😃🙂

Cheesus fucking christ

Only in Florida. I'd be willing to bet she is a stout DeathSantis and Trump supporter!

Gimme a break!

Naser_Omerzahi and Anoushirvan_Omerzahi have been transferred to the quarantine of Zahedan prison for execution since yesterday and they are still there. And they are going to be executed in a few hours. Let's be under their voice. SaveNaserAndAnoshirwan

I guarantee you if she even votes at all, she votes 🔵 straight down the line...

She needs a new microwave

Maybe she’s not a very fast cook

Just stop. Loser looking for money. She should be awarded the amount of money she makes in 2 min. No more

Or have the microwawes with 220 V 600 watt output and with 110 V only 300 watt output? Then is this the problem!

The judge should make this woman pay Kraft for this stupid shit

Bells will be ringing...oh what a Christmas🎶🎄

Good luck lady..

Omg really. Grow up people

Any news that are more important than this BS?

Talk about lazy. Must be one of them there Millennials or Gen Z who are realizing you have to work in order to eat. That includes cooking your food. Lol.

Absurd sum. Are you sure you have a legal System at all?

The culture of frivolous lawsuits.

I can't imagine the emotional damage incurred by this horrible situation.

If your well being and economic welfare ride on some packaging time claim for Mac and cheese you are pathetic.

There must be a legitimate lawsuit over vaccine injuries coming soon and you’re helping set up a “frivolous lawsuit” narrative for the public to hopefully bite onto.

I'm well aware of the anxiety that comes with preparing this product. Having to add an extra 15 seconds of cooking time so the pasta is how I like it is difficult to endure, but I carry on. Hope she deservedly wins, this is an important lawsuit to some folks.

If she wins I'm suing them for it not being cheesy enough. Or velvet enough.

This is why a policy that if the plaintiff loses they have to pay the other side's legal fees.

Unfortunately, the level of intelligence among certain Americans is baffling. How to try and get money without any effort. This is most frivolous…

She is definitely a Liberal.
