  Settlement of Pet Food Class Action

        Highest Recovery In US and Canada

Grande Law Offices has obtained the first certification and settlement in the United States of a class action lawsuit for consumer purchase and pet screening claims against pet food manufacturer Menu Foods for its sale of contaminated pet food.  The case resulted in the highest settlement in the United States and Canada for any state or province.
 
Out of 120 cases filed nationwide, the case filed by Grande Law Offices was the only one to successfully stay in state court.
 
"We wanted to make sure that our class members got the protection of Hawaii's consumer statute, which is one of the strongest in the United States," Thomas Grande told media representatives at the press conference announcing the settlement.
 
"Our strategy worked," Grande noted.  "We got $240,000 for consumer and pet screening claims for Hawai'i residents; the rest of the United States and Canada combined got $650,000.  It emphasizes the importance of having Hawai'i courts resolve claims for Hawai'i's citizens,"  Grande said.
