   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Class Actions. In class action alleging Blue Buffalo's pet 
   food products were not properly labeled, the district court's failure to 
   discuss all of the Van Horn factors in its decision approving the 
   settlement causes concern; however, the record reflects the district court 
   had before it the information necessary to consider the fairness of the 
   settlement agreement, and the court finds that the facts in the record 
   support the conclusion that the settlement is fair, reasonable and 
   adequate; the settlement is also fair to class members who may have 
   additional state-law claims; the attorneys' fees and expenses award was 
   reasonable, and the district court did not abuse its discretion in 
   approving them.
