Consolidation of Genki Sushi suits is sought

STAR-ADVERTISER / 2016

A petition filed by Genki Sushi asking to consolidate and take to mediation six lawsuits, including some class-action action lawsuits, will be heard on Tuesday. Plaintiffs allege the company and its suppliers are liable for serving contaminated raw scallops in 2016. The Genki Sushi location at Ward Village was closed Aug. 15 after a hepatitis A breakout from frozen scallops used by the chain on Oahu and Kauai.
