Case overview
Plaintiffs' August 21, 2026 brief asks the JPML to centralize consumer-protection actions arising from the alleged sale of Cyclospora-contaminated lettuce, leafy greens, and other vegetable products.
Causation Theory
The brief identifies common questions about whether defendants sold contaminated food, knew or should have known of contamination, maintained adequate safeguards, the relevant product sales, and claimed damages. Those are plaintiffs' allegations; the brief does not resolve them.
Source: Burnham and Jones plaintiffs' August 21, 2026 brief in support of transfer in MDL No. 3203.
