Amira Walnut E. Coli National Class Action |
CONSUMER LAW GROUP has launched a national class action lawsuit against Amira Enterprises on behalf of individuals who have purchased and/or ingested any walnuts produced, distributed or supplied by Amira since January 1st 2011.
The class action involves a warning and recall issued by Health Canada to the public not to consume certain bulk and pre-packaged raw shelled walnut products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.
No refunds were offered to consumers who were forced to throw out their walnuts to avoid injury and without compensation. In addition, numerous people who ate the walnuts subsequently become ill.
Currently, the following products have been implicated:
• Distributed by Amira – Raw shelled walnuts sold from a bin
• Amira – Prepackaged raw shelled walnuts (Halves/Pieces/Crumbs)
• Tia – Prepackaged raw shelled walnuts (Halves/Pieces/Crumbs)
