Simplot files damaged fry suit
According to the lawsuit, the company paid BNSF Railway Company more than $12,000 last year to deliver roughly 5,000 cases of french fries at 10 degrees.
Once the potatoes made it to Doraville, Georgia, officials discovered that a door had not been closed all the way.
Railway officials claimed the product could still be sold but in a different market. However, Simplot argues that the fries were unfit for consumption.
Simplot is seeking more than $83,000 in damages that cover the cost of the product, delivery charges and disposal fees.
