New trial ordered in lawsuit against Tyson Foods
A new trial has been ordered in a sexual discrimination lawsuit against Tyson Foods Inc. The ruling published Wednesday by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns a $600,000 judgment that Springdale-based Tyson was ordered to pay Retha Weems after a federal jury agreed with Weems' discrimination claim.
Tyson Foods has recalled over 50,000 pounds of chicken products because they may contain an allergen, soy, which is not listed on the label.
