The parents “have been to the end of the road”declares Maître Philippe Courtois, lawyer for the family of Lilian, who died at the age of two, suffocated by a Knacki sausage in 2014. A file in which the Public Prosecutor require relaxation for the food giant, prosecuted for manslaughter.

Before the communication of deliberate in this case, which will be returned this Monday afternoon to the court of Daxhe recalls that for the parents, this trial “is not a question of criminal conviction, it is not a financial question either”. “It doesn’t matter what the decision is in the end, because if Herta’s criminal responsibility is recognized, it’s not going to bring back their child,” adds Master Courtois. “The main objective was above all to communicate information to consumers to avoid other tragedies.

Change Knacki packaging

With this trial, Lilian’s parents want above all modify the packaging of these industrial sausages : a year after the death of their son, Herta wrote on the package the exact message desired by the parents, specifying that Knacki had to be cut into small pieces for children under four years old.

There was only one step left for consumers to be really informed: it was written in red and across the width of the pack, not in a simple little square.” This is now the case, since the beginning of 2022. “So yes, their wish has been granted“, continues the lawyer. “But even more: they brought within the Herta company itself, information that they did not have, they recognized it.”

An allusion to the fact that in order to best avoid the wrong paths for the little ones, the Knacki must be cut into small pieces lengthwisebecause the diameter of the sausage is the same size as the esophagus of a child under four years old“, details the lawyer based on one of the expertise carried out.
