Legal action has been taken after Quaker products were recalled in Canada, due to a possible salmonella outbreak.
Vancouver-based law firm Slater Vecchio LLP says in a statement that the lawsuit toward The Quaker Oats Company and PepsiCo Canada ULC, is on behalf of all Canadians, who purchased any of the 38 products recalled; or for those who believe they got sick from the products.
The recall was issued January 11 and included granola, cereal then later, yogurt and parfait products.
Sam Jaworski, a partner at Slater Vecchio LLP, stated, “Canadians trust manufacturers to produce packaged foods that can safely be consumed without the risk of illness from contamination. Through a class action, Canadians can access justice to hold suppliers accountable through strength in numbers, even if it would not be economical to pursue a lawsuit at the individual level.”
The law firm is looking for Canadians who fell ill from the products.
