Do you remember eggs sold under brands like Compliments, Great Value, Nova Eggs, or Farmer John Eyking being recalled in fall 2020 due to a salmonella concern?

At the time, it was widely reported, and many people were checking their fridges and wondering if they had been affected. These eggs were supplied by Hilly Acres and sold under a number of common grocery store brands.

Our firm is acting in a class action relating to that recall. The case is already well underway, and we are now working to ensure that the full number of people impacted is properly accounted for as the matter moves toward resolution.

As often happens in situations like this, people continue to come forward over time—particularly those who were never tested or did not initially connect their illness to the recall.

If you or your family experienced a significant stomach illness in September to November 2020, especially around the time of the recall, we encourage you to come forward.

Common symptoms included:

Sudden vomiting and diarrhea
Fever or severe stomach pain
Illness lasting more than a day or two
You do not need a receipt or a confirmed diagnosis. Many affected individuals were never tested.

You can submit your information on our website (link in the comments!). It only takes a few minutes.

Every additional response helps ensure that the impact of this outbreak is properly recognized and included.

Please consider sharing this post. There are likely others who remember the recall and were affected but never came forward.

Our firm is investigating the viability of commencing a class action against Facebook and Instagram on behalf of all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who were under 19 when they acquired Facebook or Instagram accounts, viewed and/or engaged with harmful content – including images and advertisements which promoted unrealistic body images, eating disorders and self-harm – and suffered injuries as a result.

Similar class actions have been filed throughout the United States and Canada, alleging that Facebook and Instagram purposefully implemented algorithms and other specific features designed to addict users to their platforms, despite their knowledge of the potential negative effects of addiction.

If you believe you would qualify for this proposed class action and are interested in participating, please reach out to our office.
