JBS and Smithfield Pork Class Action Lawsuit
Two Pork Class Action Settlements totalling $101,864,300 involving Pork have been settled as a result of class action lawsuits. The lawsuits involve two pork producing companies and involve price-fixing, anti-competitive behavior alleged in the class action lawsuit. The pork producing companies, Smithfield, and JBS, have agreed to pay $101,864,300 to consumers of certain pork products. Smithfield agreed to pay $24,500,000, while Smithfield has agreed to pay $77,364,300. The deadline to file a claim in this class action settlement has passed.The companies are accused of having conspired in an intentional restraint of trade, the purpose and effect of which was to suppress competition and to allow pork producers to charge supra-competitive prices for Pork products during the Settlement Class Period, in violation of federal anti-trust, price-fixing and monopolization laws. It is alleged that Smithfield and JBS perpetrated "stabilizing" the price of Pork products, beginning at least as early as January 1, 2009. Direct purchasers of their brands or their subsidiaries' brands can receive payments if they file a timely claim by June 14, 2022.
The Court has not decided whether JBS or Smithfield did anything wrong, and both JBS and Smithfield deny any wrongdoing.
