Philadelphia Food Liability Lawyer
In 2007, hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats were injured when a Canadian company produced dog and cat food that contained melamine, a chemical used in plastic synthesis. Over 60 million of these containers were recalled, and still numerous pets died as a result. Although no humans were physically harmed in this occurrence, incidents like these occur with surprising regularity. Food manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that the products they create are free from potentially harmful additives. When they fail to act on this responsibility and release an unsafe product, they may be liable for any and all injuries that result.
