Costco, a global membership-based warehouse club offering deeply discounted groceries and consumer goods in nearly 900 locations, was named in a class action lawsuit that claims its rotisserie chickens carry the risk of salmonella poisoning.
The litigation was filed on Feb. 12 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle. At issue is the company’s $4.99 rotisserie chicken, which is often a staple gracing dinner tables throughout the United States.
