Salmonella Lawsuit to be Filed Amid
Continuing Outbreak Linked to Sprouts Source of
Article: http://www.marlerblog.com/ We will be filing yet
another lawsuit stemming from a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella-tainted
sprouts was filed today in the Tenth District Court for Sarpy County,
Nebraska. Bellevue resident Daniel Krim, one of 121 people sickened in the
February-March 2009 outbreak. The lawsuit was filed
against CW sprouts, the Nebraska firm whose Sunsprout brand of raw sprouts
was distributed to retail customers, including grocery stores and
restaurants. Also named in the lawsuit is John Doe Corporation, the yet-to-be
identified company that cultivated and distributed the seeds used to grow the
tainted sprouts. Daniel Krim purchased a
sandwich containing the defendant’s sprouts at a LaVista Jimmy John’s
restaurant in February, and fell ill the next day with flu-like symptoms
including fever, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. His symptoms
continued to worsen, causing him to seek emergency medical care. He was
treated for dehydration and gave a stool sample that later revealed that he
was infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella saintpaul. Mr. Krim
missed more than a week of work due to his illness, and lost over ten pounds.
The CDC has opened an
investigation into a new Salmonella saintpaul outbreak tied to sprouts, which
to date has sickened 35 people in six states: Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia. According to preliminary
testing, the new outbreak appears to be an extension of the February-March
outbreak in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Kansas that sickened
Daniel Krim. Posted on April 30,
