They claim the company was negligent after discovering a cleaning agent in milk that was served in schools in Camden, New Jersey.
The attorney for some of the parents told News 8 it made more than 60 children sick with stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea. The lawyer said this company essentially poisoned preschoolers and they need to be held accountable.
“No parent should ever, ever have to get a call like that,” said Samuel Jackson, an attorney with Lento Law Group. “They’ve all been through a horrible and traumatic experience. Having spoken with many of the parents, they’re most concerned about the long-term effects.”
He said they are suing to cover medical bills and for emotional distress. He also said one parent lost her job because she had to care for her young child.
