Alabama's Beasley Allen law firm drops suit against Taco Bell over 'seasoned beef' claimsPublished: Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 7:45 AM Updated: Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 8:32 AM By The Associated Press Taco Bell launched a vigorous counterattack after Beasley Allen filed its suit. (Special)LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — An Alabama-based law firm said Monday it has withdrawn its class-action lawsuit that sought to force Taco Bell to stop calling the meat it serves "beef."The lawsuit, filed in January in federal court in California, alleged that what Taco Bell calls "seasoned beef" is a meat mixture that has binders and extenders and does not meet federal requirements to be labeled beef.The fast-food chain said Monday the allegations were "absolutely wrong" and the lawsuit was voluntarily withdrawn by the firm. It said no money was exchanged and it is not changing any of its products or advertising."This sets the record straight about the high quality of our seasoned beef and the integrity of our advertising," Taco Bell CEO Greg Creed said in an interview. "We took great exception to the false claims made about our seasoned beef and wish the attorneys had contacted us before filing and publicizing a lawsuit that disparaged our brand."Law firm Beasley Allen, based in Montgomery, Ala., said that it withdrew the lawsuit after Taco Bell made changes to its marketing and product disclosure."From the inception of this case, we stated that if Taco Bell would make certain changes regarding disclosure and marketing of its 'seasoned beef' product, the case could be dismissed," attorney Dee Miles said in a statement.In response to the lawsuit, Taco Bell took out full-page ads in at least nine major newspapers, aired television spots and launched a YouTube campaign to proclaim its taco filling is 88 percent beef.It spent between $3 million and $4 million in advertising to counter the accusations made in the lawsuit, Creed said.He said he could not comment on any financial fallout for the fast-food company as a result from the lawsuit because of an "earnings blackout." Taco Bell's parent company, Louisville-based Yum Brands Inc., reports its quarterly earnings on Wednesday.Yum Brands is also the parent of Pizza Hut and KFC.

Not that I'm a fan of Taco Bel, this sort of thing really annoys me. So, was this something like a Jessie Jackson extortion scam by these Beasley jerk-offs?
Don't give a fuck one way or another. I still didn't care to know that I was more than likely eating soybean substitute, even though I thought it. I will still eat me some Taco Smell, especially when stupid drunk.
Chicago last week. Liquor store run. Top shelf. Eagle Rare. Purchased. Enjoyed.
Nice! I had an extra bottle ready to ship to you if you couldn't find it. I will drink that bottle now. It is slowly taking over that space in my heart that I have for Makers Mark.
Whoa now...wait a second. No need to do anything rash. My address is....
Too late, part of it will be gone by 7'ish.
You wound me
I would pour one out for you, but that never made any sense to me.
From what I understand, the suit didn't ask for monetary damages, just that they tell it like it is about the meat, or lack thereof. Have no idea why they would file something like this or why they thought they had good info on the product not being up to standards. Weird situation all the way around but like the Taco Smell rep said, why not just contact us and work it out. A lawsuit?
I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that old Beasley had a claim for his attorneys' fees and costs built into that complaint.
Of course. Just like the six attorneys who worked on getting the Occupational Tax in Jefferson County deemed unconstitutional. Taxpayers get like $30 a piece...The 6 attorneys get to split 6 million in fees. I want a piece of that.
