AG Ferguson announced the recovery of $35 million and counting as a result of his lawsuit over price-fixing on chicken products. Fourteen of the 19 chicken producers named in the lawsuit paid $35 million to resolve claims against them. Ferguson’s office is working on a plan to distribute recoveries from this lawsuit to assist impacted Washingtonians. 

“If you bought chicken in the last several years, you paid more for that chicken than you should have because of the illegal conduct from these companies. This is yet another milestone in our case against the companies involved in this conspiracy – but we are not done. They drove up the price of chicken and cheated hardworking Washingtonians. Antitrust laws protect consumers when company executives conspire to rig the system. I will hold all of the conspirators accountable.” – AG Ferguson
