Massive 7 Million Pound Meat Recall Leads to Potential Class Action Suit Against Boar’s Head

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.
