A recent class action lawsuit against Boar’s Head Provisions Co., Inc., alleges the company did not properly warn consumers about the possibility of listeria contamination. The lawsuit cites several issues, including improper labeling of products, an ineffective recall process and potential health risk to consumers.
The plaintiff and class members cite their reliance on manufacturers to provide safe products, according to the Boar’s Head class action lawsuit. They claim that by omitting a warning label, the company failed to inform customers about the possibility of infection and risked the health of consumers. By continuing to market the products as safe for human consumption without warning customers, Boar’s Head allegedly violates California’s False Advertising Law.
The Boar’s Head class action lawsuit also alleges the defendant violated California’s Unfair Competition Law by establishing a recall that does not benefit all consumers. The recall instructed consumers to return the product to the store for a full refund; however, this required customers to save receipts and return the products to stores. Consumers are more likely to discard the contaminated product to save time and effort, the class action claims.
