The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s legal team needs your help.
Have you or any of your family members, friends, or patients purchased and eaten grilled chicken from a national food chain located in New Jersey?
PCRM plans to file several lawsuits nationwide against national restaurant chains for failing to alert consumers about the presence of a known carcinogen (PhIP) in their grilled chicken products. Though some people know that chicken and red meat contain similar amounts of saturated fats and cholesterol, few people outside the restaurant industry know that grilled chicken also contains carcinogenic chemicals. This case will be used to raise public awareness about the unhealthfulness of grilled chicken. The primary relief sought in these lawsuits is warnings to consumers at each restaurant serving these products.
Having started in California, our next suit will be filed in New Jersey. However, in order to bring this suit, we need your help. We need people who bought and consumed grilled chicken products from one or more of the following chains (currently defendants in our first lawsuit): McDonald’s, Burger King, Applebees, Chick-fil-A, Chili’s, Outback, or T.G.I. Friday's. However, we will also consider suing on behalf of those who bought and ate grilled chicken from other national restaurant chains.
If you or someone you know fits this description and is interested in helping, please contact Robin Bernstein at rbernstein@pcrm.org or 202-686-2210, ext. 314.
Thank you!
