Just weeks after the first lawsuit was filed, an attorney in Michigan is representing a couple in a second lawsuit against pizza chain giant Little Caesars for allegedly selling pizzas with pork pepperoni to customers who expected halal meat prepared as prescribed by Muslim law.

In this second lawsuit, attorney Majed Moughni is seeking more than $100 million in damages for his clients, Dearborn residents Michelle Meade and her husband, Ali Bazzi. Moughni claims Little Caesars is guilty of breach of conduct, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault and battery, negligence and respondent superior.

The lawsuit seeks class action status on behalf of thousands of people who were allegedly sold falsely labeled pizzas.

According to news reports, Little Caesars completed its own investigation of the incident and stated the claims were unfounded. Little Caesars announced it would pursue counterclaims and seek sanctions.

"The complaint he filed has serious factual errors and critical omissions, which we plan to bring to the court’s attention promptly. I know that Little Caesars takes great pride in the commitment they’ve shown to their customers and communities for almost six decades. We are confident the court will recognize this for what it is: a frivolous lawsuit,” Little Caesars' attorney said.
