Tainted Pet Food Settlement for $24 Million on the Horizon
A proposed settlement filed in a Federal Court, said that Menu Foods, other pet food makers and retailers involved in last year’s massive pet food recall will set up a $24 million cash fund to compensate pet owners.
8 million has already been paid out to pet owners. Legal fees and expenses, which haven’t been determined, will come out of the next fund of 24 million. Do the math, that is 32 Million…
Even though no pet can ever be replaced, there will be a fund, expected to compensate thousands of pet owners in the U.S. and Canada whose pets were made ill or died from recalled pet foods made by Menu and 11 other pet food products. The products contained a contaminated ingredient from China.
The $24 million settlement, negotiated over the past seven months, would resolve more than 100 lawsuits by more than 250 plaintiffs brought in the U.S. and 12 from Canada.
If the settlement is approved by the courts, the fund is expected to be set up and disbursed over a period of months. Unlike many large settlements, consumers will recieve cash, rather than coupons.
It is the wind, that if you are going to settle, you must do so by the 24th of November…
