Case Against Menu Foods Goes Class Action

Anyone who purchased any of the 95 recalled Menu Foods-produced varieties is eligible to join a Class Action lawsuit filed Thursday in United States District Court. The suit, Howe v. Menu Foods, "seeks compensation, including veterinary and other expenses." The plaintiff's lawyers are Milberg Weiss & Bershad LLP.

The class action, Howe v. Menu Foods, was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Complaint alleges Menu Foods was negligent in the manufacture and continued widespread sale of its "cuts and gravy" style pet food products. Menu Foods allegedly knew of contamination problems in late February, but did not initiate a nationwide recall until March 16, 2007. New York state health officials identified aminopterin, a banned toxic substance used to kill rats in other countries, as the contaminant on March 24, 2007. The Complaint seeks compensation, including veterinary and other expenses, for all those who purchased any of the 95 brands subject to the recall, regardless of when they were produced.

According to the article, anyone wishing to get more information should contact Sabrina Kim at (213) 617-1200 or (800) 320-5081.

    I am wondering what is going on with the recall cases. I filed the paperwork with menu foods after my yellow lab died last April. I haven't been contacted or anything. What should I do?
