Five plaintiffs from various states have brought a class-action in the Southern District of Indiana against Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. (MPF) following the recall of nearly two dozen cat, dog, and fish food products contaminated with aflatoxins, which result from mold growth. The consumers charge the Evansville, Indiana-based pet food manufacturer with negligence, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, unjust enrichment, and violations of business and consumer protection laws.
Thursday’s complaint recounts how on Dec. 30, 2020, the defendant announced a recall on three of its “Sportmix” cat and dog food products explaining that test results revealed unacceptably high levels of aflatoxins. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) subsequently published news about the defendant’s recall and reported that several dogs had fallen ill or died after consuming MPF’s Sportmix products.
