Attorney General James alleged in the lawsuit that Hillandale Farms raised its egg prices to take advantage of higher consumer demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
David R. Jones, President & CEO of the Community Service Society“It’s beyond reprehensible that a big company like Hillandale would seek to capitalize on a global health crisis to make a profit. Even more appalling is that countless low-income families in New York, already struggling financially in the wake of the coronavirus, were forced to pay in some cases five times the price for an essential food item — eggs.”
“We applaud State Attorney General James for seeking injunctive relief barring Hillandale Farms from further price-gouging, civil penalties, disgorgement of its illegal profits, and restitution for consumers who were harmed,” he added.
