Fox Business host Jackie DeAngelis is suing Whole Foods Market after she was allegedly mauled by a pit bull inside a Manhattan store in September 2023, leaving her with permanent scarring and disfigurement. The lawsuit claims the retailer, which bans non-service animals, failed to enforce its own "No Pets" policy and remove the dog before the attack occurred, raising questions about safety enforcement in shops that permit exceptions for service animals.

DeAngelis, 46, co-host of The Big Money Show, was reportedly bitten on her left hand at the Whole Foods branch on Columbus Circle; the dog and its owner had fled by the time police arrived. She says she has undergone surgery and continues to suffer pain and emotional distress, and is seeking unspecified damages. The case comes amid wider concern over dog attacks in the US, where roughly 4.5 million people are bitten annually and 84 dog-related deaths were recorded across the US and Canada last year, with pit bulls linked to about 64 of them; the breed is among five banned in the UK.
