Rivka Steinberg v. Icelandic Provisions, Inc.

Opinion

NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUN 9 2023 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS RIVKA STEINBERG, individually and on No. 22-15287 behalf of all others similarly situated, D.C. No. 3:21-cv-05568-EMC Plaintiff-Appellant, v. MEMORANDUM* ICELANDIC PROVISIONS, INC., Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Edward M. Chen, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted March 29, 2023 Submission Vacated March 31, 2023 Resubmitted June 2, 2023 San Francisco, California Before: GOULD, BERZON, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Rivka Steinberg appeals the district court’s order granting Icelandic Provisions’ motion to dismiss her complaint for failure to state a claim. We have jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Steinberg’s complaint fails to allege that the product’s front label would deceive a reasonable consumer to believe that the product is manufactured in Iceland, because the front label’s “ambiguity [is] resolved by reference to the back label,” which accurately states that the product is manufactured in New York.

McGinity v. Procter & Gamble Co., No. 22-15080, – F.4th – (9th Cir. 2023).

AFFIRMED.
