About this class action
Maurice Blackburn is investigating a potential class action on behalf of all dog owners that purchased toxic pet food from Maffra Knackery (also trading as Backmans Greyhound Meats and Backmans Greyhound Supplies), leading to the illness or death of their dog.
Our claim will allege that Maffra Knackery, as manufacturers and suppliers of pet food, breached their obligations to customers when it sold them pet food contaminated with indospicine from May to July 2021.
Indospicine is found in plant species from the Indigofera genus that is known to be toxic to dogs. Grazing animals that consume these plants accumulate indospicine residues in their tissues over time, which may remain present for months after consumption, making them unsuitable for use in pet food.
