Dr. Vahid Berdjis and his wife, Nafiseh Berdjis, and the couple’s 10- year-old son and daughter are the plaintiffs in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit brought against the warehouse chain on Tuesday, alleging negligence, breach of warranty, products liability, failure to warn and violation of the state Unfair Competition Law.The plaintiffs seek at least $200,000 in damages. A Costco representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The family bought a package of Kirkland Fresh Wild Pacific Halibut Fillet last March 18 from the Costco store on Lone Hill Avenue and cooked it that same day, the suit states. After the parents consumed some of the fish themselves, they then shared it with their daughter, according to the suit.“As their daughter started to pick through the harmful product with her fork, numerous live worms crawled out,” according to the suit, which additionally states that the couple’s son was also present.
“Plaintiffs understandably experienced severe emotional distress and fear and the minor children have vowed to never eat seafood again,” the suit states. The family believes Costco has known about this defect and failed to warn consumers and that employees in Costco food sections, including those in charge, do not have adequate knowledge and training in food safety, the suit states.Less than two weeks after the incident, the family’s lawyers sent Costco a letter explaining what was allegedly found in the halibut, but the company has “failed to remedy the harm to plaintiffs,” the suit states.
Thanks
Unless, unless they bought cooked fish lol 😂
All fish have worms. Costco didn’t make the fish. 🙄 That’s like saying you want something built out of wood but want it to be perfect and no knots. Nature made it!
Sushi anyone?
Nancy pelosi ate the same fish too that’s why her hands were stuck together 😳
😮

Surprised? I’m not
Halibut does have worms, when they’re caught but seriously you want us to believe that you brought frozen dead worms back to life after cooking it? “Case dismissed”!! But once I bought frozen worms for dinner and after I cooked them there was a halibut swimming in the frying pan
Pics or it didn’t happen
“Worms crawling after it was cooked” Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
I believe this. I bought a tub of Kirkland cashews (unopened) that had tons of white flies and webs in it. Been a while since I’ve had a cashew. CostcoUSAStores
Take a pack of frozen fish any time and let a comercial fisherman look at it he will likely tell you thier are worms. I had a friend from Newfoundland and he told me that years ago
Costco rebuffs the claim, saying that the family were 'early bird' purchasers.
Based on the account of events, it's rather unlikely that everyone FAILED to notice said 'worms' in the food whilst cooking, then eating it. The sad part is Costco rather than fighting this which they should will settle with an NDA but hopefully not to avoid frivolous BS claims.
Hmm Maybe while cooking the fish, someone could have looked at it?
if an animal freezes and thaws. i doubt it’s still living…
How were they crawling on it after it was cooked? And why did she eat it?
and she ate them? What?
I'm calling BS, on the live worms after being frozen then cooked. Come at me...SMH
I used to sell seafood it's common among bottom dweller saltwater fish. Parasitic worms are harmless to humans. Cook and enjoy your fish
everyone knows you have to cook it till the frozen worms die. Interesting that they didn't die when frozen but okay weirdscience
Never buy from Costco and Walmart ! Do not eat from chain store is scam fake food !
Lol you didn't cook what ever you had if worms were alive after cooking.
