The lawsuit (PDF), filed in Circuit Court in Stuttgart by Hare Wynn Newell & Newton LLP of Birmingham, Ala., seeks class-action status. In addition to Pfizer, of New York, and Tyson, of Springdale, the suit names as defendants Pilgrim's Pride Corp. of Greeley, Colo., Simmons Foods Inc. of Siloam Springs, George's Farms Inc. of Springdale and Peterson Farms Inc. of Decatur.
