Kraft can’t be sued over injury at Nabisco subsidiary

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 Litigation Workers' Compensation

Kraft Foods Global Inc. can’t be sued for damages by a Nabisco employee who was severely injured by cracker-cutting equipment, a Pennsylvania court ruled. In a unanimous decision Monday, the Pennsylvania Superior Court said workers compensation was the exclusive remedy for Roque Soto, who lost his left arm and injured his right hand while operating a Ritz Cracker machine in 2007. Mr. Soto began working at the Philadelphia bakery facility in 1999 or 2000, when the plant was owned by Nabisco Inc., according to court records. Nabisco was acquired by Kraft in 2001.
