The Alaska Department of Law filed a consumer-protection lawsuit late last month in state court seeking more than $1 billion from the nation's largest poultry producers, distributors and pricers, the Anchorage Daily News reported Friday. The lawsuit also asks for damages, restitution, attorney fees and costs.
The producers collectively responded in 2017 to one lawsuit, calling it a "conspiracy theory" and arguing price fluctuations could be attributed to other causes, including the Great Recession. Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson said at the time in an email that the company does not admit liability as part of the settlements. Mickelson declined to comment on why Tyson settled when other chicken producers have not.
That's fowl, they won't sue , they're chicken.
Alaskan lawyers are in a slump and need a cash infusion!
