What the complaint alleges
Performance Food Group, Inc. and several of its subsidiaries sued Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging that Keurig abused its monopoly power in the single-serve brewer and compatible cup markets to charge supra-competitive prices for K-Cups. The plaintiffs claim they paid hundreds of millions of dollars in overcharges due to Keurig's multi-dimensional anticompetitive scheme, which included blocking internet sales, anticompetitive acquisitions, sham litigation, exclusive dealing arrangements, disparagement of competitors, and the launch of the 2.0 K-Cup Brewer designed to lock out competition.
