Class Action News

[##_1L|1169164439.jpg|width="130" height="67" alt=""|_##]The second lawsuit to be filed in L-A Superior Court in a week over contaminated pet food comes from a Los Angeles-area woman whose eight-year-old purebred Samoyed named Sammy died of kidney failure after eating an I-A-M-S meal.

Kelly Finestone filed the suit yesterday against Ontario, Canada-based Menu Foods Incorporated and Petco Animal Supply Stores Incorporated of San Diego.

Finestone alleges negligence and strict liability. Her lawsuit states that she bought the dog for twelve-hundred dollars, then spent three thousand dollars on veterinarian bills after he got sick. It cost five-hundred dollars to cremate him.

The lawsuit also alleges Fineman suffered emotional distress and a loss of companionship after her dog's death. Her lawsuit does not specify the amount of additional general and actual damages she is asking for.

She is also looking for others to join in her lawsuit.
