A 16-year-old boy illegally employed at a beleaguered chicken processing plant in Mississippi was killed when he got caught in a rotating shaft and sprockets and pulled into the machine while cleaning in the facility’s deboning area in a case that prompted a federal child labor investigation, a lawsuit by his family alleges.

Duvan Robert Tomas Pérez was killed on July 14 at Mar-Jac Poultry in Hattiesburg, according to the lawsuit, which names as defendants Mar-Jac Poultry, contractor Ōnin Staffing, the human resources director, and an on-duty safety supervisor. It seeks compensation for medical expenses, future earnings, emotional and mental distress, and attorney fees.
