LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – A pug owner has filed a class action lawsuit that claims the food he bought isn’t as healthy for dogs as Mars Petcare claims.
Alain Michael filed his case May 29 in Los Angeles federal court against the company, arguing he paid more for Nutro Limited Ingredient Diets food because he thought it contained “limited ingredients.”
He says what was promised on labels – the exclusion of ingredients like chicken, beef, corn, wheat, soy and dairy protein considered possible allergens - wasn’t what was delivered.
“In fact, the Nutro Limited Ingredient Diets contains significant amounts of each of these ingredients,” the complaint says.
“Plaintiff’s independent analysis of the ingredients… found that the Nutro Limited Ingredient Diets contain material amounts of chicken, wheat and soy using the industry standard Q-PCR method of DNA testing.”
Michael is represented by Greg Coleman Law.
