June 2010In April 2008, a Maryland Federal District Court granted a request by Sanderson Farms and Perdue Farms to enjoin advertising by their rival Tyson Foods that Tyson's chicken was "Raised Without Antibiotics" (or "RWA"). In granting this injunction, the court found that consumers were misled by Tyson's RWA claims because Tyson injected it's chickens with antibiotics pre-hatch and fed them antibiotics as well.
James J. Pizzirusso of Hausfeld LLP is one of the co-lead class counsel representing consumers in related litigation seeking refunds as a result of Tyson's allegedly false advertising.
A nationwide settlement was reached giving consumers refunds and other relief. For information about how to submit a claim, please visit: http://chickensettlement.com/
