The Federal Appeals Court for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed claims by workers at the Maid-Rite Specialty Foods plant in Dunmore, PA. Workers sued the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) claiming that the Agency condoned "inadequate COVID-19 prevention measures".

The OSHA investigated claims but determined that in 2020 that work conditions in the plant did not present a danger to workers based on the knowledge of COVID epidemiology at the time.
