Ticker: Trader Joe’s chicken soup dumplings recalled; Lawyers seek $5.6B in Musk pay case

More than 61,000 pounds of steamed chicken soup dumplings sold at Trader Joe’s are being recalled for possibly containing hard plastic, U.S. regulators announced.

The Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service noted that the now-recalled dumplings, which are produced by the California-based CJ Foods Manufacturing Beaumont Corp., may be contaminated with foreign materials — “specifically hard plastic from a permanent marker pen.”

The recall arrives after consumers reported finding hard plastic in the Trader Joe’s-branded products, FSIS said. To date, no related illnesses or injures have been reported.

FSIS urged consumers to check their freezers. The 6-ounce “Trader Joe’s Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings” under recall were produced on Dec. 7, 2023 — and can be identified by their side box labels with lot codes 03.07.25.C1-1 and 03.07.25.C1-2.

Trader Joe’s asked consumers to throw the impacted dumplings away or return them to any store location for a full refund.

Lawyers seek $5.6B in Musk pay case

The lawyers who successfully argued that a massive pay package for Tesla CEO Elon Musk was illegal and should be voided have asked the presiding judge to award them company stock worth $5.6 billion as legal fees.

The attorneys, who represented Tesla shareholders in the case decided in January, made the request of the Delaware judge in court papers filed late last week.

The amount would apparently be far and away the largest such award, if approved.

“We are ‘prepared to eat our cooking,'” the Tesla plaintiff attorneys wrote in the court filing, arguing the sum is justified because they worked on a contingency basis for more than 5 years. If they lost they would have gotten nothing.
