Facts
Kym Pardini filed a class action against Unilever United States Inc. over its marketing of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray. Pardini alleged that the product was deceptively marketed as having "0 fat" and "0 calories" when it, in fact, contained 771 calories and 82 grams of fat per bottle.
Unilever moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim.

The district court granted Unilever's motion to dismiss.
