Wellness Old Mother Hubbard Pet Food law suit announced

The law firm of Call, Jensen & Ferrell announce they represent the Plaintiffs in a class action law suit against Old Mother Hubbard Pet Foods and Petco Animal Supplies.

The law firm of Call, Jensen & Ferrell announce they represent the Plaintiffs in a class action law suit against Old Mother Hubbard Pet Foods and Petco Animal Supplies.

From the complaint: “Defendants have been knowingly and systematically defrauding hundreds of thousands of California consumers by marketing their dry pet food products by falsely representing that the products: (1) contain no animal by-products; (2) are “human grade”; (3) “are the same quality you would feed to your own family.”  These claims are manifestly false and misleading.”

“In reality, Defendants’ product contain “chicken meal” and other animal meal – which consists of law quality poultry meat, poultry skin, bones, — and may include feathers, internal organs, and other viscera.  Chicken meal is never suitable for human consumption.  Thus, the purchasers of these products have paid a significant premium believing that they are feeding their pets the same quality food that they would feed their family, when in reality they are receiving rendering plant by-products that could never be fed to humans.”

Law firm Call, Jensen & Ferrell can be contact via their website www.calljensen.com

From Call, Jensen & Ferrell: “Suit is open to pet owners throughout the country.  If they want to be added as plaintiffs, they can contact our witness coordinator for these matters, Mariam Yusuf, at myusuf@calljensen.com

    This lawsuit was dismissed by the judge. I’m not sure what the reason behind the dismissal was, but I’m relieved to hear it. Chicken meal is a good thing to see in a pet food. Raw chicken contains a large percentage of water, and therefore less nutrients per ounce. Making chicken meal cooks the chicken, and removes much of the moisture therein. This significantly increases the amount of nutrients in the food, making it more “nutrient-dense.” By definition, chicken meal is NOT supposed to include the heads, feet, feathers, by-products, or entrails of the chicken. If those things were included in the chicken meal, that is a problem. Otherwise, chicken meal, or any other meat meal, is a good thing to see in a food, as it is packed with more protein and other nutrients than it would otherwise.
