Hypothetical

A state passes a law requiring all beverage containers sold in the state to carry a refundable deposit, with unredeemed deposits kept by a state agency. A national bottling association sues, arguing the law burdens interstate commerce and conflicts with a federal labeling statute. The association also asks the court to hear claims from two member bottlers that have not yet been fined.
