Costco is currently facing a new class-action lawsuit, alleging that its hugely popular $4.99 rotisserie chicken might carry a Salmonella risk. This legal challenge stems from reports by an animal-rights group that highlighted safety problems at one of Costco’s processing plants in Nebraska. For a product so many of us rely on for a quick, affordable meal, this kind of news is a real bummer.
Lisa Taylor, a shopper from Affton, Missouri, is the plaintiff in this case. She claims she regularly bought these Kirkland Signature rotisserie chickens from Costco warehouses in the St. Louis area. Per Newsweek, Taylor argues that she paid more than she should have because Costco allegedly didn’t warn customers about the potential contamination risks.
