Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating John Boos & Co. for cracking and splitting in its “Boos Block” butcher-block countertops.

Reported Boos Block Issues

Customers report that end-grain and edge-grain blocks split down glue lines within weeks of purchase. John Boos has often attributed the cracking to humidity or user maintenance, refusing warranty service. Online woodworking communities describe widespread structural failure in maple and walnut tops.

Why Consumers Should Be Concerned

Splits can harbor bacteria and render the surfaces unsafe for food prep, undermining the company’s “heirloom quality” and “lifetime durability” promises. These claims may violate express-warranty and food-safety standards.
