American Nutrition Inc. filed a lawsuit in Utah against Mondi Bags USA after PetSmart rejected a shipment of pet food due to defective closures, reported the Standard-Examiner. The contract product liability lawsuit claims that American Nutrition suffered US$5 million or more in damages due to the complete separation of the slider-openers from the bags supplied by Mondi. The case was transferred to the U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 22. Mondi has denied that their bags were at fault and said that the bags may have been damaged at another point in the supply chain.
