Weight-watching consumers who sued a Florida ice cream maker for erroneously labeling a product as low-fat have settled - for more ice cream. The Orange Park manufacturer of Big Daddy, DeConna Ice Cream, agreed earlier this month to a $1.2 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit filed in 2001 in Broward Circuit Court. Under the settlement, plaintiffs with receipts will either get their money back or receive two free cups of Big Daddy ice cream for each cup they purchased. Those without receipts can only get ice cream, up to a maximum of 12 cups.
