Case ID: 5170 | Consumer Products | 08/25/2008
A class action lawsuit is being launched against Maple Leaf Foods, after evidence surfaced this weekend that the company's Toronto plant was the source of a fatal listeria outbreak in tainted meats.
Four deaths, including three in Ontario, have been tied to the products, and 21 other cases have been confirmed nationwide. The suit will be launched in four provinces - Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The company has acknowledged the recall and clean-up will cost it $20 million - and that's before any legal action.
