The Red Diamond company is suing a Texas consumer for defamation, libel and business disparagement for the website www.reddiamondteaistoxic.com. A consumer discovered toxic chemicals in a jug of Red Diamond Tea and tried to get a government agency, like the Health Department and the FDA to take action. When no agency nor the company would do anything, she put up a website to warn other consumers in March 2008. Later, she sued Red Diamond and the company who manufactured the tea, Plains Dairy, for personal injury. Red Diamond responded with a SLAPP suit for defamation. The Red Diamond company has two prior FDA complaints from other customers about chemical smells and bad taste in their tea.
