# How to Avoid Coming Up Empty: Update on Non-Functional Slack Fill Enforcement and Litigation

 September 27, 2017 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (EDT)

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Slack fill,” or the difference between the capacity of a container and the volume of the product inside, has been the subject of much class action litigation alleging that non-functional slack-fill deceives consumers about the true contents of packaged goods.

In this webinar, [Donnelly McDowell](/Our-People/Donnelly-L-McDowell) and [Glenn Graham](/Our-People/Glenn-T-Graham) will discuss exemptions to the non-functional slack fill regulations, recent enforcement actions, federal and state litigation, and how you can avoid being a target.
