What happened

A proposed class action against Dole Food Company, Inc., apparently concerning allegations of fraud related to its food products. The docket reflects an amended complaint and extensions of time to respond, followed by a voluntary dismissal of individual claims with prejudice and putative class claims without prejudice.

Do you qualify?
