Boar’s Head Class Action Lawsuit Filed After Deadly Listeria Outbreak

In August 2024, Boar’s Head Provisions was hit with a proposed consumer class action lawsuit in New York federal court, filed the day after 7.2 million pounds of deli meat products were recalled nationwide due to Listeria contamination.

10 Deaths, 59 Hospitalizations Linked to Boar’s Head Deli Meats

Since the recall, Boar’s Head deli meat products have been linked to at least 10 deaths and 59 hospitalizations in 19 states between June and September 2024, according to the CDC. The true number of sick people is likely much higher. It can take up to 10 weeks for the symptoms of Listeria to appear.

Who Filed The Class Action Lawsuit?

The lawsuit was filed by a woman who bought Boar’s Head Ham from her local Shop Rite store in Queens County, New York. She paid about $11.54 for the ham, but claims that the deli meat products were “actually worthless because they possibly contained Listeria.”

She accuses Boar’s Head Provisions of “deceptive and misleading business practices” by failing to warn consumers that “the products are contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.”

She also claims that the recall remedy from Boar’s Head is insufficient because consumers must keep the recalled deli meat products and return them to the store where they were purchased to get a refund.

The class action lawsuit was filed on August 1, 2024 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York — Case 1:24-cv-05405.

About Class Action Lawsuits

Class action lawsuits are not usually filed after food poisoning outbreaks by people who got sick. Instead, class actions may be used by people who are seeking financial compensation for purchasing food products that were later recalled.

Can I Join a Class Action?

You may be eligible to file a lawsuit or join a class action against Boar’s Head if you or a loved one were diagnosed with Listeria, hospitalized due to a severe illness, or your family member died.

Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits

Individual lawsuits are more common for people who got sick or died in food poisoning outbreaks. This is because individual plaintiffs can benefit by hiring their own lawyer who will focus on helping the client seek compensation.

How Much Money Is My Lawsuit Worth?

The financial compensation in a food poisoning lawsuit may include medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, other economic losses, wrongful death of a loved one, and more. Unlike a class action, if compensation is awarded in an individual lawsuit, the plaintiff does not have to share the payout with everyone in the class action.
