Bruce Newman, of Counsel Attorney at Brown,
Paindiris & Scott, has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Elizabeth
Mawaka against Nestle Purina, Waggin' Train, LLC, Wal-Mart, and Sam's Club
following the death of Ms. Mawaka's two boston terriers after they ingested
chicken jerky treats. Over a thousand complaints have been made to the FDA
because of pet illnesses and deaths after ingesting this food, and currently
over a dozen other affected pet owners may be joining the suit, which is
currently pending in the US District Court in Connecticut. The chicken jerky
treats cause neurological symptoms, liver and kidney failure and may also cause
pancreatitis in dogs. Newman has requested that these dog treats be immediately
recalled. The case has been accepted by the Judicial Panel on Multi-District
Litigation as another action is currently pending in Chicago and it may be
transferred to another Judge in the next 6 weeks.
If
you, a family member, or friend has a dog affected by this contaminated food,
contact Attorney Newman at 860.583.5200 or bnewman@bpslawyers.com.
