CHICAGO — A federal court in Illinois partially dismissed a consumer fraud class action brought by customers who say Walmart deceptively labeled its seafood products as “sustainably sourced,” when in reality its source fisheries both overfish and use unsustainable practices such as bottom trawling. The class representative lacks standing to bring claims over seafood products she did not personally buy. Her Illinois consumer fraud, consumer protection and unjust enrichment claims survive the motion.
