The Campbell's Company has sued a Michigan Congressional candidate and her political campaign committee over using a Campbell's Soup can theme in her campaign that the company alleges impermissibly resembles the food company's branding and design.

The lawsuit against Shelby Nicole Campbell, 31, of Detroit, was filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The allegations in the lawsuit are infringement of a federally registered trademark, false designation of origin and false endorsement.
