Boy's story exploited to sell device; An alleged 'potato cartel': CBC's Marketplace cheat sheet | CBC News LoadedCBC's Marketplace rounds up the consumer and health news you need from the week.Nathan Parker says he’s heartbroken that his son Lucas’s name is now attached to a machine that might be hurting others. His son's brain was damaged by E. coli.
The video Parker discovered uses animation to retell Marketplace's original story of how Lucas shared a contaminated romaine salad with his dad while on a family road trip to Disneyland in 2018. "Armed with the same access to each other's data on pricing and other sensitive information, as well as with a direct line of communication to each other, the potato cartel moves prices skyward in lockstep — harming all purchasers of potatoes in the process," one of the claims read.
The lawsuits have not been certified as class actions and the allegations have not been proven in court. None of the four companies have filed defences and the other three did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The Toyota Highlander was the most stolen vehicle in Canada last year overall — but CBC’s David Common explains why consumers should look beyond the raw numbers and examine the data around the most frequently stolen vehicles, which include Land Rovers and Lexus SUVs.
