Woodman’s Food Market, Inc. v. Clorox Co., No. 15-3001 (7th Cir.  August 12, 2016).

Clorox Sales Company and Clorox Company produce a range of consumer goods.  Clorox sold goods to Plaintiff Woodman’s Food Market, a local grocery store with locations in Wisconsin and Illinois.  Clorox also sold to discount warehouses such as Costco and Sam’s Club.  In 2014, Clorox unilaterally announced that it would sell its large packs only to wholesale discount clubs.  Thus, the large bulk-size packs, which had previously been sold to Woodman’s were no longer available to it by direct purchase from Clorox.Continue Reading Refusal to Sell Bulk-Size Packs, Without More, Is Not Price Discrimination – “Size is Not a Service”
