TV Channel Nickelodeon Was Planned Class Action Lawsuit Over Junk Food Ads
The Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, two consumer activist groups plan to file state class-action lawsuits against Kellogg and Viacom, owner of the popular children`s TV channel Nickelodeon in a new approach to fighting junk food TV ads.
The groups accuse the companies of harming children`s health because they primarily advertise foods high in sugar, fat and salt and low in nutrients.
They allege Kellogg and Nickelodeon caused more than $1 billion in economic harm to Massachusetts consumers. However the lawsuits seek no monetary damages though.
