you can't make this crap up. What lawyer thought he'd have a chance with this? This should be thrown out of court and the plaintiffs should be required to pay the fees for the court to do it.
It is one of those frivolous lawsuits that occur in a society where there are no penalties for filing them If this country had a "loser pays legal fees" rule, these cases would not see the light of day.
Exotic locations are big draws. Vermont has very specific rules on what can be labeled "made in Vermont" or "Vermont made" or variations. It is not much different than any other trademark infringement issue.
If Cabot creamery made cheeses outside of Vermont and implied those cheeses were made in Vermont, the company would be in a world of hurt. "Champagne" refers to wine from a particular region of France. THe list goes on.
What is happening in this case is the suit is not being made by the state of Hawaii, but by a consumer advocate. Think about it when you buy your "made in USA" flag from China.
I dont think it says anywhere that they are Made In Hawaii, implied or otherwise. Its no different than buying Old El Paso tacos, or frozen Belgian waffles. Its a recipe, not a place.

Exactly. Haven't read the link but did someone really think they were buying something made in HI and shipped out to the mainland? For what, $3-$4 for a package of 12 rolls. Wowzer, people be dumb!

I believe the actual bakery location is listed on the package. Also, the rolls were originally made in Hilo, Hawaii. So that's where the name comes from. Frivolous lawsuit.
