After recalling more than 7 million pounds of meat products linked to a deadly listeria outbreak, Boar’s Head is now facing a potential class action lawsuit. The lawsuit against the popular deli meat company was first filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on August 1st. The lawsuit alleges that deli products were improperly, deceptively, and misleadingly labeled.
Boar’s head is under fire for failing to expose the full extent of possible Listeria contamination. 34 people have been sickened, 33 hospitalized, and two have died.
