Coffee giant has dismissed suggestions their use of chemical near food could have harmed customers as an attempt to 'incite public fear.”
Starbucks has been accused of putting their customers' lives at risk by using a potentially hazardous pesticide in several of their New York stores.
According to Hot Shot’s website, the No-Pest Strip should not be used in kitchens, restaurants or areas where food is prepared or anywhere in a home except for garages, attics, crawl spaces, and sheds occupied by people for less than four hours per day. Photos shared along with the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court appear to show the No Pest Strips near food, beverages and air vents around several stores in the Manhattan.
Douglas H. Wigdor, founding partner at Wigdor LLP who are representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement: “New Yorkers deserve to know what they are putting in their bodies and we call upon Starbucks to explain, as we allege in the complaint, its failure to take appropriate care for its customers’ well-being.”
“We take pride in creating a safe environment for our employees and customers, and any products used in our stores must meet high safety standards in order to comply with our company guidelines” a spokesperson added.
