Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Barney’s in October 2012. They claimed that the menu items containing Kobe beef served at Barney’s Beanery’s restaurants don’t actually contain Kobe beef. The word “Kobe Beef” indicates that beef comes from a breed of cattle called Wagyu which is isolated in the Kobe region of Japan and the US Department of Agriculture has banned the import of beef and cattle from Japan since 2010. Thus, Barney’s misled consumers and violated the Consumers Legal Remedies Act.
