Eggs

Hausfeld LLP represents direct purchasers of shell eggs and processed egg products who allege that a near industry-wide price fixing conspiracy has artificially raised the price of eggs over the past several years.

Hausfeld LLP filed the first lawsuit in the country alleging that a cartel of egg producers through the auspices of their trade groups -- United Egg Producers (UEP); United States Egg Marketers (USEM); and United Egg Association (UEA) -- engaged in an unlawful scheme to artificially inflate egg prices by restricting the supply of both laying hens and eggs across the country.

The Firm has been appointed by the Court to be one of the four co-lead firms responsible for managing this litigation on behalf of a putative class of direct purchasers of eggs.

In June 2010, the firm announced a $25 million partial settlement with Land O' Lakes, Moark, and Norco.
