Choline Chloride Antitrust Litigation
Choline chloride manufacturers allegedly conspired to fix the price of choline chloride, also known as vitamin B4, which is an ingredient used in animal feed and pet foods. A class action went to Court and the Court ordered defendants Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc., DuCoa, LP, and DCV, Inc. to pay $49,539,234, which increased to $148,617,702 under federal antitrust law. We assisted potential claimants, primarily feed companies, in filing for settlement.
