The lawsuit has to do with the size of McCormick\u2019s ground pepper tins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A smaller player in the spice industry, Watkins Inc., filed a lawsuit against McCormick last year, claiming that the latter had reduced the amount of pepper in its tins by 25% while still using the same size tin. The old McCormick tins contained about 8 ounces of ground pepper. After the switch, the tins now contain about 6 ounces of ground pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this reduction in quantity the size of the tin has in fact remained the same. Watkins claims that this means that McCormick is using a visual trick to make it seem like they are selling more pepper per tin than they really&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watkins and McCormick sell the same product, but their marketing techniques are different. McCormick has non see-through containers that obscure the amount of product that they contain. Watkins has a smaller-sized container even though they contain the same amount as McCormick\u2019s. That\u2019s why Watkins is suing McCormick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite protestations from the company, a federal judge has decided to move forward on a lawsuit against McCormick &amp; Co., the popular spice maker.
