(YAHOO NEWS) – The man who sued Buffalo Wild Wings over their “boneless” wings has struck again, this time suing a home-goods company over a blanket.
Aimen Halim gained notoriety earlier this year when he filed a class-action lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings, alleging the company’s “boneless wings” are closer to chicken nuggets. That lawsuit came after Halim filed at least three other class-action suits against companies he accused of using deceptive marketing practices.
Now, Halim and a handful of other plaintiffs have made similar claims against Berkshire Blanket & Home Company, claiming the company misrepresented a plush blanket as more sustainable than it really is.
“These representations lead consumers to believe the blanket is a ‘green’ product that has a less harmful impact on the environment because of its ingredients, manufacture, use, or disposal,” the lawsuit says. “Unfortunately for consumers, these representations by Defendant are false.”
A spokesperson for Berkshire did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
The “Soft Blanket” was previously branded as the “EcoSoft Blanket,” according to images in the lawsuit. Aside from Berkshire’s website, the blanket is available in a variety of sizes at Costco, Walmart, and Amazon, at prices ranging from about $20 to $50.
The branding for the blanket said it used “half the water” in the dyeing and manufacturing process, the lawsuit alleged, accusing the company of greenwashing.
“This calls the question, ‘half of what?’ It is unclear whether this references half of the water of competitors, half the water it previously used, or some other half,” Halim and the other plaintiffs said in the lawsuit. “Berkshire makes no attempt to substantiate its claim that the amount of water being used is somehow better for the environment.”
