The widow of an employee of Philly Cheesesteak Company located in Philadelphia has sued Tyson Foods Inc. the recent owner of the enterprise. The suit alleges that Tyson Foods failed to provide the descendant with appropriate PPE during April 2020.
The widow is seeking compensation and punitive damages for the death of her husband who was three years from retirement and presumably in a high-risk category based on age.
In the absence of indemnity Tyson Food will require the Plaintiff to prove that COVID infection was acquired in the workplace.
