Lavery, de Billy has been retained to represent Menu Foods, a manufacturer and distributor of dog and cat foods (Iams, Purina, Nutro, Eukanuba), in connection with three class actions recently filed in the Quebec Superior Court for the district of Montreal.
These lawsuits result from a recall by Menu Foods in March 2007 following allegations that pets had died due to kidney failure related to the consumption of its food, which is distributed across North America.
Multi Foods’s defence will be lead by Jean Saint-Onge, with the assistance of Jean-Philippe Lincourt and Anne-Marie Lévesque.
