The Magic Spoon lawsuit record includes two website accessibility cases filed in New York in 2021 under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and a September 2025 notice of intent to sue under California’s Proposition 65 alleging that the brand’s Honey Almond Protein Granola contained cadmium without the required consumer warning.
2025 Proposition 65 Notice Over Cadmium in Granola
On September 12, 2025, Environmental Health Advocates, Inc., represented by Entorno Law, LLP, filed a 60-day notice of intent to sue Magic Spoon under California’s Proposition 65. The notice alleges that Magic Spoon’s Honey Almond Protein Granola contains cadmium, which California lists as both a carcinogen and a reproductive toxin, and that the product was sold without the warning Proposition 65 requires.1California Office of the Attorney General. Proposition 65 Notice of Violation – Magic Spoon Inc. According to the filing, the granola had been on sale since at least June 2025, and the signing attorney certified she had consulted with experts who reviewed exposure data and concluded there was a “reasonable and meritorious case” for a private enforcement action.
A Proposition 65 violation can carry civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day per violation along with a court order barring sale of the product without proper warnings.1California Office of the Attorney General. Proposition 65 Notice of Violation – Magic Spoon Inc.
A 60-day notice is a procedural step, not a filed lawsuit. During that window, the California Attorney General or a local district attorney can take over enforcement; if they don’t, the private party may file a civil complaint once the 60 days have run. Whether a formal complaint followed the notice against Magic Spoon is not reflected in the available records.
2021 ADA Website Accessibility Lawsuits in New York
Two plaintiffs sued Magic Spoon in New York within a week of each other in the spring of 2021. Brian Fischler filed on April 30, 2021, and Jose Quezada filed on May 6, 2021. Both complaints alleged that www.magicspoon.com was “not sufficiently digitally accessible” to people with disabilities under the ADA.2Accessibility.com.

Both are frequent filers in this area. Fischler has served as lead plaintiff in dozens of similar New York website compliance suits.4Bicycle Retailer and Industry News.

Why a Direct-to-Consumer Cereal Brand Draws These Suits
Magic Spoon’s exposure fits a broader pattern. More than 4,000 ADA-related digital accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2024, with eCommerce sites making up 77% of all claims, and the top ten plaintiff-side law firms accounting for 77% of national filings.6UsableNet. 2024 Year End ADA Web Lawsuit Report New York courts routinely accept these cases even when the defendant has no physical presence in the state. Magic Spoon’s early business ran almost entirely through its website, which is the surface those filings target.
Proposition 65 operates on a similar private-enforcement model in California, where advocacy groups and their counsel send 60-day notices on products they allege contain listed chemicals without the required warning. The cadmium notice against Magic Spoon’s granola is one such filing, and its progression past the notice stage is not yet documented in public records.
