后续行动: Newman's Own said it takes worker safety seriously; the other companies did not respond to journalists. Miracapo was fined $2.8 million. OSHA records show that the company contested the fine, but offer no further details. A lawsuit filed by the family was dismissed after Miracapo’s lawyer successfully argued the company could not be held responsible because Ms. López Hernández was employed by Xcel, the staffing agency; a settlement was later reached but the family are yet to receive payment.
