A proposed class action filed April 17, 2026, in New York, Cazaldo v. Handi-foil Corp. (No. 6:26-cv-06442), says Handi-foil’s disposable aluminum pans are falsely labeled “Made in USA,” ClassAction.org reported on April 27, 2026.
The claims
- The suit says the pans are made of “virtually all foreign-derived material.” Aluminum comes from bauxite, which is not mined at commercial scale in the USA.
- It says Handi-foil may source aluminum coils from suppliers such as Gränges Americas and Novelis, which rely on foreign bauxite.
- It points to a price premium: a ten-pack of Korean-made Avantix pans at $5.99 versus comparable Handi-foil pans at $8.99 at ShopRite, about 29 cents more per pan.
- The suit seeks to represent New York buyers under the state’s General Business Law.
“Even if final assembly of the Products takes place in the United States, Defendant fails to disclose that not all or virtually all raw materials and components of the products are made and sourced in the United States.”
Complaint, as quoted by ClassAction.org
Why it matters for Made in USA
The case tests how far back the “all or virtually all” standard reaches into raw materials. Handi-foil already faced a separate case over the same claim. See our earlier report on the summary judgment ruling. These are allegations, and Handi-foil has not been found liable in this case.
