Summary

The consumer protection law under which the California suit was filed puts the onus on the defendants to prove that they were not price gouging, said Deborah Hensler, a specialist in class-action lawsuits at Stanford University Law School.

“They are suing everybody,” Dr. Hensler said. “They did not want to put all their eggs in one basket.”
