Menu Foods settlement

The Settlement Agreement creates a Settlement Fund of US$24 million that will allow a potential recovery of up to 100% of all economic damages incurred by pet owners,
subject to certain limitations. The Settlement Fund, administered by a neutral claims
administrator, will be available to persons in the United States and Canada who
purchased or obtained, or whose pets used or consumed, recalled pet food.


The claim form is quite long and it is probably a preliminary settlement in case the $24 million doesn't cover it all. So let anyone know who was affected to check the menufoods website to file to be part of the suit.

Sadly, there were a lot of cats and dogs that died because of the food contamination but weren't necessarily atttributed to it at the time. I also know people who lost cats and thought that it was because of the food, but were too devastated at the time to pursue it. +SAD+

Deb's right. I'm glad to hear of the settlement, but last time I checked (could be updated by now, though) the "official" count by the FDA, attributing death to contaminated pet food, was still at some obscenely low number, like 16???

I wonder if that will some how affect settlement claims. I hope not!
