Mar-Jac Poultry 'expects to prevail in this matter,' the company told ABC News.

Poultry company responsible for teen's 2023 death found to have 'oppressive child labor' at separate plant: DOLInvestigators allegedly again found minors working on the kill floor of a poultry plant owned by the company that was found responsible for the death of a teenager last year, according to court filings.

In a statement to ABC News, Mar-Jac said the minors were hired with documents "that showed they were over 18 years of age." The Department of Labor is seeking a court order to stop the company from selling and shipping "poultry tainted by oppressive child labor" from the company's plant in Alabama, according to court filings.

Court records reviewed by ABC News said the company's Hattiesburg plant was also sued twice in recent years by people who alleged they had sustained injuries at the plant. One of the lawsuits, filed in December 2022, is scheduled for a jury trial in August. In the other lawsuit, which was filed by a veterinarian for the Department of Agriculture who allegedly fell during an inspection, a jury found in favor of the defendant, Mar-Jac.
