IRWINDALE, Calif. (AP) — A Los Angeles suburb is spicing up
its lawsuit against a hot-sauce manufacturer it claims polluted the air
with pungent smells.
Stephen Onstot, an attorney representing
Irwindale, tells City News Service that the small industrial city east
of Los Angeles will add a breach-of-contract claim to its existing
nuisance suit against the Sriracha plant.
Onstot says the city
will allege that owner Huy Fong Foods failed to comply with certain
operating conditions, including not emitting foul odors.
Defense attorney John Tate told a judge Friday that he didn’t object to the modification.
Irwindale
sued the company in October after nearby residents alleged that plant
odors were causing asthma and other health problems.
A judge has ordered the company to stop any operations that might be causing the odors.
